The data analysis technique in this research uses technical data analysis in the form of content analysis through four stages, including data reduction, data presentation, data verification, and conclusion. The results of this research show that the local wisdom of the Sedulur Sikep of the Samin tribe should be widely known and continue to be preserved because the Samin people are a society that has an innocent and honest personality, open to everyone, considers everyone as brothers so that an attitude of togetherness is always prioritized. What is said is always by the reality he experiences. Everything that is done is never engineered. The Samin tribe firmly upholds an attitude of not being envious, not having lousy prejudice towards other people, and not having any crime found in the community.
