This research was conducted in an effort to discuss the concept of siri' na pacce as a material object and the perspective of cultural identity as a formal object, so as to produce an adequate inventory of literature, produce a synthesis related to a concept or thought, and provide alternatives related to understanding a concept or thinking. This study uses methodical elements such as description, interpretation, internal coherence, and idealization.

The results of this study are that siri' na pacce as a cultural concept is certainly in line with several main functions of culture as an identity such as the identity meaning function, group inclusion function, the ecological adaptation function, and the cultural communication function. This then shows that the concept of siri'na pacce can continue to exist along with the times from generation to generation.
