Objective:

ØTo identify the various indigenous peoples of

the Mindanao and describe their cultures.
What do you know about them?
ØLumads and the Muslims were groups under
a tribal system.

ØIn 1986, fifteen of the more than eighteen

ICC in Mindanao adopted the term lumad, a
Bisayan word for "native" or indigenous," to
distinguish themselves from the Christians
and Muslims in Mindanao. Republic Act
6734, enacted during Corazon Aquino's time,
used the term to differentiate these ethnic
communities from the Bangsamoro people.
