The phenomenon of diminishing knowledge of traditional folklore among children is becoming increasingly widespread. This study aims to reveal the fading knowledge of traditional folklore among Muna ethnic children in Anduonohu Subdistrict, Kendari City. This research employs a qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation and interviews with 16 Muna ethnic children residing in Anduonohu Subdistrict, Kambu District, Kendari City, as well as interviews with their parents for additional information. The results of this study indicate that 15 out of 16 children observed and interviewed are no longer familiar with the traditional stories passed down through generations in Muna ethnic communities. Compared to traditional folklore, these children are more familiar with stories from animated works broadcasted on television or YouTube podcasts. According to the parents, the diminishing knowledge of traditional folklore is partly due to their busy schedules, which limit opportunities for storytelling, a lack of awareness regarding the benefits of traditional folklore, and the limited availability of alternative media. The impacts include the loss of traditional folklore knowledge, the erosion of cultural values, and an identity crisis.
