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. The book's author, an American missionary who lived among the tribes for many years, provides a chronicle of their history, culture, religious beliefs, and way of life. The author presents a nuanced portrait of these indigenous communities, describing their complex social structures, artistic traditions, and interactions with the wider Philippine society. 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.
