Critical Readings on the state of Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines—Indigenous Peoples Month 2025

Habang tayo ay madalas sumangguni sa mga kaalaman, kasanayan, at gawaing pansining mula sa mga komunidad ng katutubo sa Pilipinas para bigyang saysay ang ating kamalayan at pagkakakilanlan bilang mga Pilipino, ang kanilang mga pasakit at ang mga hamon sa kanilang mapayapang pamumuhay ay hindi nabibigyan ng karampatang pansin.

Itong buwan ng mga katutubo, alamin natin ang kalagayan ng mga komunidad ng mga katutubo sa Pilipinas sa pamamagitan ng ilang mga babasahin mula sa mga organisasyong katuwang ng mga katutubo sa kanilang pagpupunyagi tungo sa buhay na payapa, marangal, at may kapasidad para umunlad ayon sa kanilang mga paniniwala at sa pamamaraang makabuluhan para sa kanilang buong komunidad.
