I. INTRODUCTION
The community of Subah village, Tayan Hilir sub-district, Sanggau district is a plural society. They consist of various ethnic groups, religions, cultures and social statuses. Almost all ethnic groups, religions, cultures and social statuses exist in the village, with the Tobag Dayak ethnic group as the original, majority and dominant population. There is harmony in social relations between groups in the village. During this time they respect and appreciate each other.
One of the most striking point in the life of the people in the village is the resolution of problems between them. They agreed to prioritize the Tobag Dayak custom, namely the colap and angat custom. Despite using colap and angat custom, in fact, the social relations between these groups have remained harmonious so far. In fact, almost all disputes can be resolved properly when using the custom.
Harmony in society may be due to the greatness of other groups who want to respect and appreciate the values and customary norms of the Tobag Dayak community. However, it could also be due to the dominance of the Tobag Dayak tribe who happen to be the majority and are the original inhabitants
