The purpose of this study is to describe the production of Tajau in Kuin Utara as a source of social studies learning. The study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Observations, interviews, and documentation are used as data collection techniques. Data reduction, data presentation, and data verification are used for data analysis techniques. Data validity test is done by triangulation namely source triangulation and extension of research time. The results showed that Tajau's production activities consisted of several stages from preparation, materials, forming Tajau, drying, and marketing. The various stages can be used as a source of social studies learning on material interactions between spaces, social interactions, economic activities, and trade between regions.
