The Aching-Mori massacre remains a grim testament to the suffering and resistance of the Tagin community against systemic oppression. Rooted in forced donations and the exploitative Jorimona system during Kebang, indigenous tribes endured harsh subjugation under colonial expeditions that masked exploitation as governance. These operations employed violence, cultural erasure, and forced labor to dismantle tribal identity. In response, the Tagins resisted fiercely-not merely to survive, but to defend their dignity and heritage. The massacre that followed was a brutal act of repression, aimed at silencing defiance through terror. Yet, this tragedy became a symbol of unyielding resistance, inspiring future movements and asserting the people's right to self-determination. Though soaked in sorrow, the Aching-Mori massacre embodies the strength and resilience of a community that refused to be erased. By remembering their struggle, we honor their legacy and keep alive the spirit of justice, resistance, and hope for future generations.
