Reconociendo que preservar el conocimiento minahasan requiere una documentación proactiva y un periodismo dirigido por jóvenes, creamos Kelung, una plataforma mediática gestionada íntegramente por jóvenes minahasan. Kelung, que significa "escudo" o "guardián" en la lengua tombulu', simboliza nuestra misión de proteger y transmitir nuestro patrimonio cultural a las generaciones futuras. Nuestro ambicioso objetivo es crear el primer medio de comunicación indígena que publique activamente contenidos atractivos y relevantes.
