Sejarah Minahasa
1961 / 1968
Brief but firmly this book lists chronologically the events in the Minahasa from "ancient times" until 1954, that is when Bitung became a sea port. The attraction of this book - especially in the 2nd edition that was published in 1968 - are the attachments that amongst others list the historic events of the division of the Minahasa land into walak-walak (locations) and then into districts from approximately 1679 until 1966.

Kurt Tauchmann
Die Religion der Minahasa-Stämme (Nordost-Celebes/Sulawesi).
1968
A German researcher was promoted to Doctor at the University of Cologne with this dissertation. This is probably the first dissertasion about the Minahasa ever written in German. Through his studies Kurt Tauchmann tries to reconstruct religion and beliefs of the autochtonal Minahasa tribes from the era before the influences of Europe. This book consists of six parts, each discussing cosmology, beliefs and teachings regarding the gods, describing and conseptualising about the soul, religious leaders, religious behaviour, and finally about the Minahasa religious system. This study is very comprehensive and continually regards the divisions between the various tribes within the Minahasa. It is interesting to hear Tauchmann speak of the Minahasa as a "Museum of Myths". In the eastern part of Indonesia, according to him, there is no other area where you can find such diversity of myths competing with each other as in the Minahasa.

Bert Supit
Minahasa: Dari Amanat Watu Pinawetengan Sampai Gelora Minawanua
Jakarta: Sinar Harapan, 1986
Minahasa From the Message of Watu Pinawetengan until the Passion of Minawanua.
(Note: Bert Supit, the writer of this book is not the same one as docter Bert A. Supit in Tomohon. This Bert Supit is a former officer of the army (TNI-AD) and is an initiator of the founding of the Perguruan Tinggi Manado (Higher Education Center of Manado), which later became the Sam Ratulangi University, and now lives in Jakarta).
The book written by Bert Supit can be categorized as an examination of the Minahasa history. One of the primary references used by Bert Supit is the book of E.C. Godeè Molsbergen. Moreover, the lengthy quotation of the agreement between the Dutch and the Minahasas in 1679, 1699 and 1790 is quoted in its entirity from that book. However, that does not mean that Bert Supit is not critical with regards to that book. In the contrary, with this book Bert Supit shows the flame of resistance against the Dutch that ever happend in the Minahasa history, especially the Tondano War.

Kirche, Kopra und Bürokraten: Gesellschaftliche Entwicklung und strategisches Handeln in Nord Sulawesi / Indonesien
Saabrücken: Verlag Breitenbach, 1990
Church, Copra and Burocracy. Trade Development and strategic Trading in North Sulawesi
Buchholt himself is a German. The original of this book is a dissertation for his Doctoral promotion at the University of Bielefeld. The title is indeed unique because it combines the church, copra and the burocrats. Following the sociological approach of development in the conseptual framework of strategical Groups, Buchholt examines the central role of the people and region of the Minahasa in the development of Northern Sulawesi, especially from the Dutch East-Indies´ political colonial era with economical transformation processes up until the era of the Orde Baru government with its burocracies.

Mieke Schouten
Minahasan Metamorphoses: Leadership and social mobility in a Southeast Asian society, c. 1680-1983
Dissertation Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, 1993
Mieke Schouten focusses her antropological-history study on cultural changes in the Minahasa in the time between 1680 and 1983. Using the term “metamorphoses” in the title of her hook Schouten proves that in the Minahasa, economical-, political- and religious changes are still followed by ritual processes from the past. For instance, Christian practices are still not free from ritual processes and primary religious structure. Apart from that, whichever way the modern national burocratic structure colours the political constellation, the process of traditional leadership still dominates the village structure.
This dissertation of Mieke Schouten is an attractive combination of documentation and analysis. This book of 340 pages thick can even become the basis for many new researches, for instance regarding the concept of power in the Minahasa culture or regarding Minahasa women. Mieke Schouten is indeed not a newcomer with regards to study about the Minahasa. Her MA thesis at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam in 1978 already had the theme of “The positional changes of the walak (area) heads in the Minahasa during the 19th century” (“De veranderende positie van het walak-hoofd in de Minahasa gedurende de negentiende eeuw”). From that time on Mieke Schouten in fact already started to assert herself as a source of information about the Minahasa, especially through her writing. She is amongst those foreign writers who are very productive in writing about the Minahasa.

Menno Hekker
Minahassers in Indonesië en Nederland: migratie en cultuurverandering
Disertasi Universiteit van Amsterdam, 1993
Minahasas in Indonesia and the Netherlands, migration and culture changes
It can already be seen from the title that the direction of the research is about cultural changes of the Minahasa migrants in the Netherlands. Menno Hekker clarifies his study ethnographically. His study itself is a case about one particular type of migrant. Based on the approach of cultural change Menno Hekker then compares between Minahasa people that already stay in the Netherlands and those that stay in the Minahasa. He calls the cultural changes in the migrant Minahasas as a “folkloring” process. This process comes to pass because of context changes, where the Minahasa culture is rekindled. Meaning, the original context of the Minahasa culture is changed by the context of social life of the Dutch society, resulting in the disappearance of a number of cultural elements.. However, there are a number of habits and cultural elements that are continued to be maintained like the expressions of gratitude to God, gatherings, new year, christmas tree program, maenket (folk dance), kabasaran (folk dance) and mapalus. Mapalus (vernacular term for working together) is only done as a reciprocal principle among Minahasas in the Netherlands.

He also performs a deep analysis of the interpretation of “bangsa Minahasa” (the Minahasa race). The deep political debates in the Minahasarad as well as the history of the birth of the political organization of the Minahasa people are documented in this work.
