📄 Abstract
The study was to identify and analyze the indigenous concepts contained in the superstitions about death and marriage. This utilized the purposive sampling method in selecting the participants. Two instruments were used; the interview questionnaire and the legends gathered. The superstition about death was a consistent concept from the seven towns examined. Dreams, animal and insect sounds, human actions, habits and things were identified to be related to superstitions that signal the omen of someones death. The superstition about death holds an indigenous concept such as self-preservation and family care. Meanwhile, the superstition about marriage is based on the ideas of pre-marital and the wedding day itself. It was proven that the Leytenos have a unique culture embedded in the beliefs which are still present today. These superstitious beliefs must be cultivated by the Leyteno youth to promote the protection of the cultural heritage histories of our ancestors.
