    Rainier: Indigenous peoples are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and
    ways of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social, cultural,
    economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant
    societies in which they live. In the interest of clarity, the term indigenous as used in the
    Philippines refers to ethnolinguistic groups or subgroups that maintain it of partial
    isolation, or independence, throughout the colonial era.

    person that connect people to community and the environment, the importance of
    collective history, the richness of ethnic languages and traditions.
    Rodalie: Also they are the roots of what we are for today without them then we don’t
    have culture and traditions that we lived up until now. They can survive without the help
    of technology because they mostly have their own way of surviving like planting herbs
    and spices and their unique old invention that they use.
    Rainier: We must be thankful for them that they help protect our environment, fight
    climate change, and build resilience to natural disasters, yet their rights aren't always
    protected. While Indigenous Peoples own, occupy, or use a quarter of the world's
    surface area, they safeguard 80% of the world's remaining biodiversity, so we must
    protect them.
    Academic Write Up
    Title: Indigenous People Strength’s
    Introduction
    Indigenous peoples are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways
    of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social, cultural, economic
    and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in
    which they live. In the interest of clarity, the term indigenous as used in the Philippines
    refers to ethnolinguistic groups or subgroups that maintain it of partial isolation, or
    independence, throughout the colonial era. Indigenous communities, peoples and
    nations are those which, having a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial
    societies that developed on their territories, consider themselves distinct from other
    sectors of the societies now prevailing on those territories, or parts of them. They form
    at present non-dominant sectors of society and are determined to preserve, develop
    and transmit to future generations their ancestral territories, and their ethnic identity, as
    the basis of their continued existence as peoples, in accordance with their own cultural
    patterns, social institutions, and legal system. (Cobo 1981)

    Understanding the Strengths of Indigenous Communities has been a positive


    learning experience not just for those involved in conducting the research but for the
    people feeding back the information. People in the focus groups were obviously
    impressed with the strengths of the community when they were all placed on the table
    at once. It gave them a sense of pride in the accomplishments of their home community.
    Youths in their early teens are family and community-oriented. They are aware of and
    appreciative of the services of their nation. It was very satisfying with the focus and
    attitude of the group. They seemed very eager to contribute good information. (Jeff
    McCallum 2005) They work very well in a group. Very willing to help each other out
    when a person is stuck for words. I was very impressed with how hard they worked at
    coming up with ideas and drawing their ideas. They were also willing to volunteer for
    every exercise. (Yolanda McCallum 2009). The Government enacted the land mark
    legislation with the Indigenous land act. IPRA is constituently the principle of the ILO
    Convention 169 here in the Philippines which serve as the legally binding instrument
    that recognizes the IP’s rights covering a wide range of issues to find their own priorities
    and ways of life.

    Conclusion

    The strengths of this IP groups is they are culturally distinctive concepts of the
    person that connect people to community and the environment, the importance of
    collective history, the richness of ethnic languages and traditions. They work very well in
    a group. Very willing to help each other out when a person is stuck with problems. They
    are the roots of what we are for today without them then we don’t have culture and
    traditions that we lived up until now. Ethnic groups can survive without the help of
    technology because they mostly have their own way of surviving like planting herbs and
    spices and their unique old invention that they use. In partnership to the indigenous
    people they help protect our environment, fight climate change, and build resilience to
    natural disasters, yet their rights aren't always protected. While Indigenous Peoples
    own, occupy, or use a quarter of the world's surface area, they safeguard 80% of the
    world's remaining biodiversity; so we must protect them.
