Each group has its specific culture, which is related to the birth, traditional dance, sacred ceremony, traditional house, etc. But though there re so many tribes with different cultures and regional languages, they are united in one nation and have motherland (Tanah air Indonesia), and one national language that is Indonesia languages (Bahasa Indonesia)। They also united because they have only one way of life that is Pancasila (panca=5, sila=principle):
