Study Notes

Introduction to Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines

Indigenous Peoples are defined by shared language, customs, traditions, and historical claims to territory.
The term encompasses communities that have resisted cultural colonization and maintained distinct identities.
Indigenous communities form non-dominant sectors of society, aiming to preserve their cultural patterns and legal systems.

General Profile of Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines

The Philippines comprises 7,107 islands, home to over 12-15 million indigenous individuals, about 17-22% of the population (1995).
Indigenous communities are mainly located in the interiors of Luzon, Mindanao, and parts of Visayas.
These groups showcase rich diversity with over forty ethno-linguistic groups, each maintaining unique languages and traditions.
Many indigenous peoples retained their cultural practices despite colonial influences from Spain and the United States, preserving their social structures and communal rituals.
Indigenous communities face external pressures from migration, industrialization, and government policies that have eroded land rights and cultural integrity.

Major Groups of Indigenous Peoples

Various organizations classify Philippine indigenous ethnic groups, with estimates ranging from 40 to 95 distinct tribes.
