Abstract

This research aims to explore the values of “Mangurre Tarimbawo" which are contained in the local cultural wisdom of Talaud Islands’ society. These values, among others, can be useful for the development of character education. The method used is Qualitative Descriptive Method. Research finding that "Mangurre Tarimbawo" which means pulling back the shackles off in order to release the shackles that break the ties of brotherhood and peace between the shackled parties (the troubled party), Talaud people have inherited from generation to generation, as one a form of reconciliation that is proactive. In the event of misunderstanding, wrong treatment, which can trigger conflict between individuals, or individuals with groups, or groups with other groups, the guilty party without being asked to feel obliged and responsible for restoring good relations that have been interrupted even disconnected, by reconciling through an apology and doing good in order to release the shackles that bind him so that peace is created without leveraging the mistakes and bad conditions that have occurred. By carrying out the "Mangurre Tarimbawo" the guilty party has retracted his wrongdoing and doing good deeds to please the party he has harmed. However, this tradition is slowly starting to have less influence along with various socio-cultural changes in younger generation, including a reduction in the use of local languages that provide deep meaning in the meaning and preservation of the values of local wisdom as a whole. Thus, a real effort is needed to explore the values of local wisdom that are useful to continue to be preserved in order to strengthen the socio-cultural arrangement as a basis for overall community development. One means of preserving culture is through formal, non-formal and informal education channels.
