Abstrak Tujuan dari paper ini adalah untuk menjelaskan perjuangan orang-orang Loloda dalam mencari kembali identitas dirinya di Halmahera Maluku Utara, di mana sejarah menjadi landasan berpikir dan bertindak dalam mencapai tujuannya bahkan sampai sekarang. Perjuangan orang Loloda itu mulai semakin gencar seiring dengan berlakunya undang-undang otonomi daerah nomor 22 tahun 1999 sampai hari ini. Semarak diberitakan bahwa tokoh-tokoh adat masyarakat Loloda menuntut kabupaten tersendiri lepas dari Kabupaten Halmahera Utara (Loloda Utara) dan Barat (Loloda Selatan) dengan nama ”Kabupaten Loloda Pasifik”. Isu lain yang berkembang ialah bahwa sampai saat ini masyarakat Loloda belum menikmati kekayaan sumber daya alamnya sendiri yang melimpah dan diabaikan. Mereka mulai kembali mencari identitas diri lewat sejarahnya yang hingga kini masih dianggap kabur dan sarat diskriminasi. Sikap disintegrasi pun mulai muncul dari yang sebelumnya berskala kabupaten menjadi berskala propinsi. Mereka ingin melepaskan diri, keluar dari Propinsi Maluku Utara dan menyatakan diri siap bergabung dengan Propinsi Sulawesi Utara apabila aspirasinya tidak terpenuhi. Pertanyaannya adalah bagaimana hubungan antara sejarah daerah ini dengan munculnya tuntutan perubahan status Loloda dari kecamatan ke kabupaten baru yang diharapkan. --- Abstract The purpose of this paper is to describe the struggle of Loloda people to find their true identity in Halmahera, North Maluku, where the history of the foundation of thingking and acting in achieving its goals even now.
