Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book discusses Mindanao, the southernmost major island of the Philippines, home to ten or more distinct indigenous tribes, known collectively as the Wild Tribes.

Against the backdrop of the Spanish and American colonial experience, the book also explores the challenges faced by the Wild Tribes in the early 20th century, including the encroachment of settlers, the spread of disease, and the loss of traditional lands.
