Native Narratives Strive

 

     On the month of October, we commemorate a special event, the Indigenous People's Month and the 27th year Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) with the theme: "Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong:Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalan,"  it is a vital celebration that recognizes and honors the rich culture and heritage of indigenous communities. 

     This event serves as a platform to promote and protect the rights, traditions, and knowledge of indigenous peoples in the Philippines. By acknowledging and valuing the indigenous wisdom and contributions to society, we are fostering inclusivity, diversity, and respect for the unique identities of indigenous communities. This observance also highlights the importance of upholding the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act and ensuring the empowerment and representation of indigenous groups in decision-making processes and policy formulation. 

     Through this commemoration, we are not only recognizing the valuable contributions of indigenous peoples but also advocating for the preservation and promotion of their culture and heritage for future generations.
