The reproduction of identity and power ofKalisusu royalty in the expansion process of North Buton begun since adat leaders got involvedin the expansion of political activities in order to legitimize the emergence of North Butonidentity. To legitimize North Buton identity, adat leaders are supported by the claims that theyhave genealogical relationship with their ancestors, the founders of Kalisusu royal nobility. Theinvolvement of adat leaders is, in fact, not on their own initiative, but by the expansion agents.However, the involvment of adat leaders have precisely giventhem a space for reproductivepower in a new autonomous regions, North Buton.
