Abstract
Oral narratives reveal deeply embedded indigenous connections within the community, environments, and supernatural traditions. It is a living record how locals have interacted with the mountain and enabled to produce its local literature and history passed down since old times. The stories also depict values, belief systems, and ecological consciousness of the community. The study suggests the need for preserving oral literature as one of the means of maintaining both cultural identity and biodiversity for generations to come.
