The history of the Batin Sakai tribe, which has lived for generations in the area around the Mandau River, a tributary of the Siak River, is still dark and only relies on individual memories from the post-religious conversion period of the tribal community around the beginning of the 20th century AD. This study will try to describe the collective memories recorded in the period before the 20th century along with historiographic interpretations based on the correlation of historical traces that exist or are related to the area that was once home to the Batin Sakai Tribe. The description in the study is more focused on tracing the “missing link” in the history of the Batin Sakai Tribe, especially regarding the origins of this tribe.
