This study aims to analyze and describe the history, Implementation of Wewe'e Kumawus Culture in Tomohon City society, Implementation of Wewe'e Kumawus Cultural Values ??in Learning Materials, and opportunities for Wewe'e Kumawus Cultural Values ??to be used as Learning Materials for Elementary School Social Studies Education in Tomohon City. By using a qualitative approach to 3 cultural figures, 3 village heads, and three elementary school principals accompanied by triangulation of 3 religious figures, it is concluded that: 1.The Wewe'e kumawus culture of the Tomohon city community has existed since the ancient community which was then guarded, maintained, and preserved from generation to generation. 2. The implementation of the wewe'e kumawus culture by the Tomohon city community is carried out starting from the occurrence of a mourning event, the family and local community work together to help the bereaved family starting from making a mourning ward, making a coffin, burial and up to the kumawus worship which is accompanied by spontaneous provision of grief assistance to the bereaved family. 3. The implementation of the wewe'e kumawus Cultural Values ??in the learning materials for Elementary School Social Studies education in Tomohon City is very strategic and relevant because all wewe'e kumawus cultural activities become formal objects as well as material objects of the learning materials for Social Studies education which are sourced from the fields of Sociology, anthropology, economics, geography and PPKn. 4. The opportunity for the cultural values ??of wewe'e kumawus to be used as learning material for Elementary School Social Studies Education in Tomohon City, is very promising after a scientific seminar and conceptual study were held by related parties including the education office, local cultural figures, universities, and the Tomohon city government to produce a curriculum development policy based on local cultural wisdom.
