This article will discuss how local Wisdom fosters human literacy to strengthen national culture and fortify the younger generation from penetrating foreign cultures with a global perspective. The penetration of foreign cultures is intensively coloring the socio-cultural life system of the Indonesian people. This condition is exacerbated by the tendency of some of the younger generation to be oriented toward this culture. Amid the vortex of global hegemony influence, the phenomena have also made educational institutions feel like they have lost their space. On the other hand, the student's understanding of local history and cultural traditions that exist in society is depleted. The method used in the analysis of this discussion is a literature study. The following are the stages in literature study, including determining the purpose and scope of literature study, finding literature sources, selecting and evaluating literature, reading and compiling literature, analyzing literature, and writing and compiling literature study reports.A literature study is a theoretical study, references, and other scientific literature related to the culture, values, and norms that developed in the social situation under study. A literature study is a research method that involves studying and reading literature related to the research subject. We need a learning process focusing on character education, namely Citizenship Education. Citizenship education based on local Wisdom fosters literacy that can give meaning to Indonesian human life, namely humanity literacy. Humanity literacy is expected to respond to the rush of information and technology that can affect the character development of the younger generation, becoming a spirit that can color the dynamics of the younger generation. National education can form humans with high Integrity and character to give birth to a dignified generation through the spirit of education, namely humanizing humans.
