The wetutelu tradition inherited from many generations by Sasak ethnic groupsand has experienced a cultural endeavor in the era of globalization, because it was considered not in accordance with the teachings of Islam in general. The endeavor arises between ethnic Sasak who want to maintain the wetutelu tradition as a local identity with those who want to apply Islamic culture in general.

The results of this study describe the emergence of Cultural Islam as a cultural adaptation between the wetutelu and the teachings of Islam in general. Key Word: WetuTelu, Identity and Endeavor.
