<![CDATA[The Tor-Tor Naposo Nauli Bulung dance contains local wisdom values that can serve as an ethnopedagogical source in Social Studies education. This study explores (1) the manifestation of spiritual and respectful values within the dance and (2) its potential as a culturally based learning resource for Social Studies. A qualitative approach with an ethnographic design was used, involving observation, interviews, and document analysis, with data validated through triangulation. The findings show that the dance reflects spiritual values, reverence for ancestors, solidarity, and communal harmony. However, a shift in meaning among younger generations challenges its preservation. The dance has the potential to be integrated into Social Studies learning through an ethnopedagogical approach, particularly to instil character values and cultural appreciation. Challenges include limited instructional time and students' lack of understanding of the dance's philosophical meaning. Therefore, an integrated learning model involving cultural arts and community figures is recommended.]]>
