Level
 2. Clan Level
A clan may be
bestowed the
responsibility
to take care of
the tawid
3. Individual Level
Tawid or Patawid is
transferred to an
individual person
What We Learn From Levels of Tawid
1. The realities of Tawid are marked by worthiness
of tumawid
2. In Cordillera, a tawid is not idly constrained in
the idea of birthright, but of exemplification of
values and meanings ascribed in the tawid
3. It is the role of the present generation to
safeguard the tinawid for future generations
What We Learn From Levels of Tawid
4. The tumawid is not the owner, in the indigenous
lens, but merely a ‘caretaker’, ‘custodian’, or
‘steward’ who keep safes the tawid
5. The tawid is impetus to cultural manifestation
and more so the continuity of such manifestations
6. Neglect of tawid affects filial and community
relations and even cultural continuity
What We Learn From Levels of Tawid
7. The Tawid is generally the identity of individuals,
clans, villages, and ethnolinguistic groups
8. The levels of tawid are generally interrelated.
When you thought of your identity,
have you ever called yourself a
Cordilleran?
In the level of Cordillera Identity, is
there something we can really call
Cordillera Heritage?
• Share common history, vulnerability,
and aspiration for inclusivity and self-
governance
• Share common beliefs and rituals,
although there are variations in terms
of cultural traits and social structures
Underscoring commonalities, shared
values, and unconscious victory of
defending ways of life together, we
can conclude that indeed there is a
Tawid Cordillera
