Abstract : Tengger people have lived in the highland of Bromo for more than one thousand years. Mt Bromo is located in East Java and it has become one of the world tourism destinations in Indonesia. They offer fascinating sceneries as well as amazing local traditions and cultures. This co-existence of the agricultural way of life and the tourism industry eventually influence each other and may threaten the identity of Tengger people. Tengger people have more and more exposure to tourists. The holy land of Bromo mountain must also give way to the development of tourism infrastructures such as roads, hotels, and restaurants. This paper is a report on the community development project conducted by the Faculty of Humanities, Universitas Airlangga in SMP4 Tosari (Secondary High School). The program aimed to help the students to improve their competency in producing their own stories to strengthen their identity as members of the Tengger indigenous people. The participants were students from SMPN 4 Tosari Pasuruan East Java (Public Secondary High School 4, Tosari) from years 7,8, and 9 with a total number of 84 students. They automatically became participants because of their status as students of SMPN 4 Tosari. The total number of photos collected was 280. This activity has helped the students of Tosari Secondary High School to improve their capability in generating photos and producing narratives. This is important because this helped the students to create their own stories and reinforce their own identity as a member of Tengger indigenous society.

Keywords : Self-Narrative, Identity, Indigenous People, Tengger.
