<![CDATA[This article explains the collective memory of the Mandar community regarding the figure of To Salama’, Kahar Muzakkar. The study focuses on the experiences of three informants, namely Bapak Dadi Majid, Bapak Abdul Talib, and Bapak Ilham Sofi, who gained knowledge about the events through stories told by parents and the community.
