HISTORY

The Claim

Martha Christina Tiahahu was designated as a National Hero of Indonesia on May 20, 1969.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Multiple independent sources — including National Geographic Indonesia, an academic library, and a museum registry — consistently confirm Martha Christina Tiahahu was designated a National Hero of Indonesia on May 20, 1969, via Presidential Decree No. 012/TK/Tahun 1969. No source in the evidence pool contradicts this date or designation. The only limitation is that the primary decree text itself is not reproduced, but the convergence of specific details across diverse secondary sources meets the standard threshold for historical verification.

Caveats

  • The primary text of Presidential Decree No. 012/TK/Tahun 1969 is not reproduced in any available source; the date is attested solely through secondary references.
  • The highest-authority newsroom source (The Jakarta Post) confirms the National Hero designation but does not specify the exact date, leaving the date corroboration to mid-tier sources.
  • Several lower-quality sources in the evidence pool (Slideshare, Alchetron, Scribd) appear to copy information without independent verification and should not be relied upon individually.
