The study finds that the integration of tradition and religion of the Ukuwala Mahiate ritual is formed as the interpretation of the ritual processes the tradition of community and Mosque procession, Nyuwelain Matehu procession and proof, and affect the Moluccas life. The Ukuwala Mahiate is considered having deep significance, as an offering, veneration of ancestral spirits, and an act of social solidarity with a fellow of the indigenous community.
