This study analyzed the values contained in the huwi lo yimelu and mongolota maluo tradition in rural Gorontalo. These researches are descriptive qualitative research with an ethnographic approach. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews and participant observation and then analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the huwi lo yimelu tradition was still adopted by rural communities in Gorontalo, despite some changes. The tradition of slaughtering chickens has rituals and myths that must be carried out to create a sense of pleasure in the chicken slaughter. This tradition gives birth to distinctive patterns for obtaining slaughtered chickens in huwi lo yimelu; the models are mongohi (sharing), mohile (asking), moluwalo (buying symbolically) and motali (buying cheaply). These traditions not only show the sharing of poverty among the poor of farm families but also show the sharing of wealth between social classes. This tradition gives birth to the value of solidarity and happiness, namely the satisfaction of gathering with family, the joy of eating a special menu, and the pleasure of welcoming the holy month of Ramadan
