“The inhabitants of Minahasa (as this part of Celebes is called)
differ much from those of all the rest of the island, and in fact from
any other people in the Archipelago. They are of light-brown or yellow
tint, often approaching the fairness of a European; of a rather short stature,
stout and well-made; of an open and pleasing countenance, more or less
disfigured as age increases by projecting cheek-bones; and with the unsual
long, straith, jet-black air of the Malayan races. In some of the inland
villages where they may be supposed to be the purest race, both men and
women are remarkably handsome; while nearer the coasts where the purity
of their blood has been destroyed by the intermixture of other races, they
approach to the ordinary types of the wild inhabitants of the surrounding
countries."

The people of Minahasa is those who spend their live in helping each
other; show their vocal talents that is famed throughout the country, displayed
during their huge ritual celebration while drinking the palmwine; dance
the old-style waltz in their traditional wedding parties; the church-goers
who fill the streets on Sunday with their smart dresses; decorate the years
with traditional celebrations in forms eating, drinking, singing and dancing
involving the neighbours and the crossers of their houses..
