A journey of hope: Implementing the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of the Philippines. The quest to reclaim ancestral domains. Vol. 1
The contents of this volume are based on case studies and a scoping report focusing on the recognition of ancestral domains in the Philippines. These studies are means to generate information that would facilitate the full implementation of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act.
In this volume, four reports focusing on the efforts of indigenous peoples to reclaim their ancestral domains are presented. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the process undertaken by indigenous communities to obtain their ancestral domain certificates and titles. The other chapters illustrate some of the conflicts that indigenous peoples are experiencing in relation to ancestral domain concerns, and how various groups have assisted them in achieving their goals.
