We construct the Haar wavelets on a local field K of positive characteristic and show that the Haar wavelet system forms an unconditional basis for $L^{p}(K)$, 1 < p < ∞. We also prove that this system, normalized in $L^{p}(K)$, is a democratic basis of $L^{p}(K)$. This also proves that the Haar system is a greedy basis of $L^{p}(K)$ for 1 < p < ∞.
