In this paper, the author tries to describe the existence of traditional culture from a small town in Papua, Indonesia, namely Wamena in the midst of globalization which can be said to have succeeded in influencing several local cultures in Indonesia, even though it is not realized. To maintain their own local culture, it requires active participation from the local community, where they as actors are directly involved in this. This also does not have a temporary impact but has a long-term impact on the descendants of the local community in the future, so that they can continue to maintain the existence of this traditional culture. Thus, some very unique traditional cultures have been carried out by local communities until now as an effort so that these local cultures do not just disappear even though globalization has emerged. The local people there do not close themselves off from foreign cultures that represent globalization, but rather filter the incoming foreign culture so as not to replace the traditional culture of the area.
