These values are used as motivation for humans to behave and act with kindness and benevolence. This refers to moral values that can be found through cultural traditions or oral literature that exist in society. One of the oral literatures is Nias folklore. This folklore has a main purpose in the social life of the Nias people. However, people rarely realize that oral literature through folklore can learn cultural values that are used as regional wealth. Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine the folklore of the Oyo and Susua Rivers in the Nias Community through a study of moral values. To achieve the research objectives, researchers used descriptive qualitative methods with purposive sampling techniques. This research comes from primary data and secondary data. Primary data was obtained from the text The Origins of the Oyo and Susua Rivers which were collected from research informants. Meanwhile, secondary data are books and journals related to moral values in folklore. Based on the results of this research, the researcher suggests that the oral literature that has developed to date can be used as a source of value education, social institutions and can even be used as local and national cultural wealth.]]>
