The diversity of Indonesia in terms of ethnicity, tribe, and culture or others should result in original contributions. At the same time, the originality also needs to have a great norm that can be the main source of inspiration and a way of life. Educational values, local wisdom, norm, and rules in Kampung Naga has a relationship with cultural heritage. The objective of the study is, first, how the local wisdom is used in daily life in Kampung Naga community and kept safe. Second, to analyse how the educational values can be explored continually, and lastly, how the local wisdom can continue and be passed onto the next generation of the Kampung Naga Society. The  qualitative technique approach is applied by collecting observation data, dept interviews, and documentation. The results show that, first, the local wisdom is transferred and passing from generations to generations through the family unit and local community. Daily behaviour and attitude, fashion, manner, cooking, domestic activities, and paddy rice field culture are transmitted through a member of the family or household. The adat leaders, the elders, and the local ulama are not involved in these matters. Meanwhile, community rituals, forest usage and its taboo, cultivation at forest area, as well as housing construction are transmitted through the community sphere in particular, through adat leaders, the elders, and the local ulama. The second result is that educative values and local wisdom are transferred by natural daily activities from their parents at home and by ceremonial events, in Kampung Naga.  

Key words: Educative values, local wisdom, and cultural transferred.
