This study aims to analyze the oral tradition of Parno in Kerinci customary practices and its relevance to local history-based learning. Parno is an oral expression containing advice, historical narratives, customary values, and collective identity of the Kerinci community. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method through literature study and contextual analysis of local cultural values. The results show that Parno functions not only as a ceremonial speech but also as a medium for transferring historical knowledge, social norms, and cultural identity between generations. In history learning, Parno can be used as a local historical source to encourage students to understand the relationship between past events, cultural heritage, and community identity. The integration of Parno into learning activities can strengthen historical awareness and appreciation of local wisdom.
