<![CDATA[This study aims to describe and analyze the cultural values and their representations within the procession and procedural execution of the saprahan tradition in Pelangi Segedong Hamlet, Bengkayang Regency. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method and a literary anthropology approach. The data collected consist of both verbal and non-verbal elements. Data sources include customary leaders, cultural practitioners, the general public, and primary data regarding the saprahan practice itself. Data collection techniques involve participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Data analysis follows an interactive model comprising three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. Data validity is ensured through source triangulation and theoretical triangulation. The findings indicate that the saprahan tradition embodies three primary cultural values: (1) religious values, (2) social values, and (3) ecological values. These values are concretely represented through four standard elements: the sequence of dish presentation, the symbolic significance of traditional utensils, the circular seating arrangement, and the mechanism for intergenerational transmission of implicit values through the community's direct involvement in every stage of the saprahan procession.]]>
