The results of this study reveal that the Ngalu Kemenakan Tradition contains values of brotherhood and solidarity, social values and mutual cooperation values. The Ngalu Kemenakan tradition still exists and is carried out by the people of Koto Dian Village because it has a symbolic meaning for the community. The meaning of the symbol of money for welfare, the meaning of the symbol of the first child in the form of the datiu's appreciation for his brother's first child after he was married and the meaning of the symbol of the roll of money wrapped around the datiu who gathers with friendship bonds. For the meaning of activity in the Ngalu Nephew Tradition, it can be seen in the activity of draping a necklace of money around the nephew's neck showing togetherness and family cohesiveness, eating together as a form of family gratitude during the Ngalu Nephew tradition and reading prayers as the closing of the series of events and thanks to God Almighty.]]>
