Customs and traditions in Minangkabau are called "Adat Minangkabau", which in fact is more than mere customs and traditions. It is a philosophy of life and a way of thinking for the people. It comprises of one's duties towards his ancestors, his environment his descendants and himself.

The adat minangkabau is based on worldly principles. Therefore, there is a strong conviction that it will survive and stand forever strong, lively and adaptable, because what is good should be taken, what is wrong should be thrown away; one should look at the past as an example and one should learn from successes.

The adat Minangkabau teaches a democratic system of thinking, as it says that what is good for someone should be approved by others. The principle here is that everything should be of all by all and for all people.
