Abstract

Nationalism is one of the pillars supporting the existence of a nation state. The waning of nationalism among the younger generation can damage the pillar. This paper discusses efforts to internalize nationalism values among high school students in the outer islands, in the case of Bunguran Island or Natuna Island (the old name), Natuna regency. Methods used is a combination of historical and social methods. Historical method used to reveal historical background of problems, while social methods used to understand perception of younger generation’s in nationalism. Bunguran is one of the islands in Natuna regency, geographically it borders with neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The interaction between local population and migrants from different regions can not be avoided. Meanwhile its geographical location is very far from the Indonesian government that has consequence on the lack of the intervention on the Island’s development. These conditions cause waning on nationalism values, especially in the younger generation. Efforts to internalize of nationalism values conducted by high school students, it is the most effective way to maintain a sense of love for the nation and motherland.
