Abstract: This research aims to explain the characteristics of the Onin Fakfak peninsula and its relations to the Nusantara archipelago. The Onin Fakfak peninsula in the maritime network of Nusantara archipelago has been known since the 7th century during the Sriwijaya empire and in the 12th century, when the name Onin (Wwanim) was mentioned in the book Negarakertagama by Mpu Prapanca, a famous Majapahit poet of his time. The Onin Fakfak peninsula was known as a shipping route with other parts of the archipelago for its trade in the nutmeg spice, in addition to its ability to sail, pirate, and as a center for slave transactions. Nutmeg has an important role in the life of every native Fakfak. In the life cycle of every native child of Mbaham Matta, nutmeg becomes one of the plants that form his daily activities and its use is life knowledge. Picking – harvesting nutmeg is a symbol of maintaining kinship ties and the responsibility for feeding the family; selling nutmeg is a symbol of building communication and social relations with outsiders; and caring for nutmeg hamlets is a symbol of treating nature wisely.
