Abstract


This study aims to reveal the background of the Kapahaha War (1637–
1646), explain the role of Kapitan Telukabessy in the conflict, and
analyze its impact on the people of Morella Village, Leihitu District,
Central Maluku Regency. Kapitan Telukabessy was a charismatic and
courageous leader who led the resistance of the Morella community
against Dutch colonial forces from the steep and strategic Kapahaha
Hill. Using historical research methods, the study found that
Telukabessy's nine-year struggle had a significant influence on shaping
the collective identity and historical awareness of the Morella people. To
this day, his contributions are honored and remembered, as seen in the
naming of public spaces such as Telukabessy Street in Ambon City. His
legacy stands as a symbol of resistance and remains deeply rooted in the
collective memory of the Ambonese community
