Therefore, an analysis was carried out to discover character values contained in folk tales (legends) with lawlessness theme in the Minangkabau tribe. In addition, the analysis is also carried out to see how the story contributes to the process of strengthening the nation’s character education. Content analysis research techniques in qualitative paradigm were used to analyze the folklore text with lawlessness theme. From the folklore text, eleven values were identified which is believed to be true and their existence is still maintained by Minangkabau tribe community. These values contribute in strengthening the character of the nation.
