The wealth of natural resources can be both a blessing and a curse. In various places, the struggle for access to natural resource actually triggers to conflict and violence. This research aims to explore the process of transforming mining conflicts, which involve corporations with local indigenous communities. The gold mining operation that obtained legal permits from the local government was rejected by the local community. This resistance transformed from the social resistance to finally become the political resolution from the local authority. This research was conducted in several individuals and institutions, where they were involved in the resistance movement rejecting gold mining activities in Bonto Katute Village, Sinjai Regency Indonesia. This research is qualitative and data collection through literature studies and field research using observations and interviews and analyzed with interactive models. The results of study showed that the relationship of conflict between the corporation and the local indigenous community was communal level and later developed into a collective movement. The conflict was triggered by the refusal of local indigenous communities to issue mining exploration permits for the corporations, which were considered not transparent and participatory. The change in the strategy of the resistance movement was influenced by efforts to negotiate, mediate and consolidate which were less successful. The strong pressure from the social resistance movement in the form of civil society alliances eventually turned into a political resolution movement, through the decisions of local power institutions.
