In addition, the idyll element shows ideal behavior that refers to village environmental wisdom, namely the harmonious relationship between humans and God, the relationship between humans and other humans, and the harmonious relationship between humans and nature. The connection between humans and God in relation to environmental wisdom in the Lio Tribe is shown through the principles of life, mindset, and perspective of the community that always includes God in every activity they do that is closely related to the environment. Second, the form of nostalgia represents past memories experienced by several characters in Lio tribal folklore related to the prosperity of a region or an event. Third, the georgic element that shows the process of working in harmony with nature as something comfortable represents comfortable farming work and enjoying agricultural products. Fifth, the form of retreat and return that depicts the escape of city people to the village due to natural disasters, avoiding natural disasters, seeking a better life and colonial motives that want to control areas rich in natural resources.
