This paper highlights one of the elements of matrilineal culture in the Southern Indigenous Community, Malacca Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The emergency element is the tradition of the Mata Musan. Tradition in the form of a child's submission, especially the female called OA Mata Musan, from the spouse of the wife who embraced the mother's lines (the mother's family) to the family of the father to be a link between the two families. If compared to a matrilineal marriage system in some ethnicities, the tradition of the Mata Musan is the matrilineal culture of the Southern Bellu Community. The tradition is a symbolic act that contains the values of life, which is the collective consciousness of its society. The values referred to, i.e., the value of obedience- namely obedience to ancestral messages and heritage, the value of kinship, and the value of togetherness, the values empowering concerns about the fate and the existence of the Mata Musan. The fact shows that the Mata Musan can only feel the psychological violence due to cultural violence. The mata musan is indispensable efforts to bridge the idealistic traditions with realistic action. It is now a dynamic view as a primary way so that the tradition of the Mata Musan cannot vanished, while the values are not relevant to modern life slowly- Land modified
