This study was motivated by the importance of character education, which emphasizes not only students’ academic achievement but also the development of attitudes and behaviors aligned with the cultural values of the Dompu community. The purpose of this study is to examine how character education based on the local wisdom of Nggahi Rawi Pahu is implemented at SDN 11 Manggelewa, as well as the character traits developed through its implementation. The method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data collection was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. To ensure data validity, the researcher employed source triangulation and methodological triangulation. The research results indicate that the implementation of character education based on the local wisdom of Nggahi Rawi Pahu at SDN 11 Manggelewa is carried out through the integration of character traits into Islamic Religious Education (PAI) lessons, the instillation of character grounded in religious beliefs, the cultivation of attitudes and behavior within the school environment, and teachers serving as role models in daily life. The character traits developed in this implementation include honesty, discipline, and responsibility. The character traits in Nggahi Rawi Pahu are considered capable of helping students understand and apply these traits in their daily lives because they are directly related to culture and the social environment.
