INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S
TRADITION AND CULTURE IN
THE PHILIPPINES. INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S TRADITION AND CULTURE IN THE PHILIPPINES. • Indigenous peoples, also referred to as First peoples, Aboriginal peoples, Native peoples, or autochthonous peoples. • Cordillera Peoples: -An indigenous population of the Cordillera mountain range, which covers six provinces in the middle of Northern Luzon – Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, and Mountain Province. • They are collectively called Igorots • There are eight ethno – linguistic groups in the Cordillera, namely, Bontoc, Isneg, Kalinga, Kankanaey, Tingguian, and Yapayao, Ibaloi, Ifugao. • People from Cordillera Mountains in Luzon are broadly known as Igorot. They are from the northern part of the country. • They are popularly know for being rice cultivators. The Culture and Tradition of Costume Igorots We are familiar with their clothing. In their attire, women wear colorful skirts or long skirts, necklaces, and pots. The men wear long strips of handwoven loincloth. It is important for them to have "tattoos" on the body as they symbolize the bravery and reputation of one of their society. They are very careful in choosing modern clothes. Since they were raised they would love their custom more. The Culture and Tradition of Occupational Igorots There is just a simple lifestyle like: planting and harvesting trading howling hunting sale weaving farming Like other ethnic groups, the Igorot are also rich in rituals. Many of their prayers are about abortion, wedding rituals, and procreation. There are parts in it that spirits think they are saving in one. The Igorot tribes of the Mountain Province have a wedding practice called the “trial marriage.” The Sagada Igorot, for instance, have a ward or “Dap-ay” where boys at an early age live and sleep with their agemates. AGTA and AETA/NEGRITO: • These short dark-skinned and kinky haired peoples are considered the earliest inhabitants of the Philippines. Aside from having been perpetually pushed into the hinterlands of Central Luzon. • As for their clothing, they wear plain and simple attire. Traditional aetas, wear wrap around skirts or bark cloth (for women) and loin cloth for men. CULTURE AND TRADITION • Traditionally, Aetas are hunting and gathering indigenous people. They’re actually among the most skilled when it comes to jungle survival – they are even able to make use of plants as herbal medicine and possess tools and weapons. • They are also into music and the arts – making use of ornaments as accessories and have ensembles of instruments to create melodious rhythms. • Most Aetas also go to school nowadays. Visayas the “Mangyan” People
• The indigenous groups in visayas mostly in Mindoro
are called MANGYAN.- it is a common name used to refer to 8 ethnic tries in the Philippines. • There are many ethnic groups such the TADYAWAN, TAGBANWA, PALAWANO, MALBOG and KAGAYANAN. Mangyan of Mindoro: This is a generic name for the six ethno – linguistics groups spread over the mountains and foothills of Mindoro, an island southwest of Luzon, namely, Batangan, Iraya, Hanunoo, Alangan, Ratagnon, Buhid, and Tadyawan. They are described as the first inhabitants of the island, and until today, they are one of the few groups that still practice a pre – Spanish form of writing. Their present population is about 150,000. CULTURE AND TRADITION • Mangyans lived in peaceful societies as compared to the head-hunting tribes of North Luzon and the brave defiant warrior tribes of the South. • Peaceful societies are characterized by the egalitarian social organization without status competition between men and without the asymmetric relationship between men and women. • Another theory posited that populations adapt, therefore, offering a more logical explanation of why Mangyans preferred to retreat in the hinterlands. • They accept peaceful submissiveness when they encounter lowland settlers, missionaries, traders and government officials. Mindoro the Lumad and Moro: There are some differentiation of the indigenous people in Mindanao. The Moro and the Lumad. Moro is Spanish for the word Moor. Lumad means indigenous or native.

tribes of Mindanao. The lumad peoples are composed of some 18 ethnic groups and they form the largest groupin of indigenous peoples in the country.
