Abstract	The Jaunsari tribe of Uttarakhand, which is mostly found in the Jaunsar–Bawar area of the districts of Dehradun and Uttarkashi, represents an impressive collection of cultural traditions and oral history. Songs, myths, and proverbs are examples of oral traditions that encode collective history, spirituality, and environmental knowledge. These traditions are in danger of deteriorating and becoming distorted in the modern era of migration, modernization, and digital communication. The study examines how Jaunsari oral heritage has changed, what influences cultural shifts, and methods for long-term preservation. It draws attention to the relationship between modernization and cultural continuity using secondary data, ethnographic literature, and policy documents. There are suggestions made for community-based preservation projects and policy integration.
