		Due to their culture that stresses the importance of learning, Minang people are over-represented in the all walks of life in Indonesia, with many ministers from Minang and the first female minister was a Minang scholar.

		Minang leaders are now studying a proper model of nagari to be adopted in all areas in the province.
		The Minang are also famous for their oral culture, a tradition of discussing at length current issues such as culture, the economy, politics, education and social affairs in coffee shops and at formal places in the community.

		Before the coming of Islam, the Minang based their conduct and interactions on local adat, an important principle of which was that the Minang, both as individuals and as members of a community, should derive their wisdom from natural phenomena.
		The Minang strongly believe in the continuity of tradition: "Adat neither rots in the rain, nor cracks in the sun." But they also recognize the importance of change: "When a flood comes, the bathing place moves." Thus, it is implicit to adat that it should be constantly renewed and adjusted as times change.
		In the past, Minang pencak-derived dance was performed mostly by men in outdoor settings, in modes that varied slightly from one nagari (village) to another.

	13th Congress of the International Society for Folk Narrative Research - July 2001 - Abstracts
		Ranah Minang is the traditional, ancient homeland of the group, while the rantau is everything beyond the boundaries of their ancestral lands.
		This distinction is institutionalised in the folklore of the group and serves as a characterizing dichotomy in their worldview.
		Even today, when the outlines of the ancestral home are indistinct and the region has been overlaid with the modern administrative structure of modern Indonesia, the distinction between Ranah Minang and the rantau remains strong in societal perceptions and occurs repeatedly, not just in traditional folklore, but in modern expressions of traditional culture.

	[ITB] Sekali lagi tentang Minang (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ada salah satu adat Minang yang harus dipatuhi oleh para perantau di mana kalau dilanggar bisa dianggap sebagai "orang yang tidak adat", sebuah predikat yang sangat menyakitkan dan memalukan.
		Adat Minang itu adalah : "KOK WAANG BABADAN TINGGI, JANG PINTU URANG NAN DIRARAK, TAPI JALANLAH MAMBUNGKUAK" Maksudnya : Kalau kamu merasa serta menjunjung adat, janganlah adat orang lain yang dilecehkan, tetapi tetaplah untuk bersikap rendah hati.
		Jadi kesimpulannya, kalau ada orang Minang membangga-banggakan Adat Minang sambil melecehkan adat orang lain, berarti dia telah melanggar Adat Minang itu sendiri, sekaligus bisa dicap sebagai orang yang tidak beradat.
