To advance the plethora of knowledge in Indigenous research, the Master of Arts in Literature (MALit) program of the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) conducted its culminating activity, \u201cThe Cosmology of Bagobo Tagabawa: Rediscovering Rituals and Oral Lore,\u201d on April 27, 2024, at Tagabawa Christian School, Astorga, Sta.

In Nick Joaquin\u2019s Culture and History, it is said that culture refers to its \ud835\udc59\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc53\ud835\udc61\ud835\udc56\ud835\udc52\ud835\udc5f \ud835\udc51\ud835\udc56\ud835\udc50\ud835\udc61\ud835\udc4e (like literature and arts) — our way of living has come to mean our metamorphosis. In connection with this, through the event\u2019s speaker, the IP leader and founder of Tagabawa Christian School in Astorga, Matanem Renante D. Talabon, the students were able to understand the \ud835\udc35\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc4f\ud835\udc5c \ud835\udc47\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc4f\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc64\ud835\udc4e\u2019\ud835\udc60 Indigenous methodologies and Indigenous knowledge systems and practices that have shaped the ICC\u2019s becoming.<\/div>\n

The said undertaking deals with the courses LIT 7214 Advanced Literature and Cultural Anthropology, LIT 7121 Advanced Literatures of the Indigenous Peoples in Mindanao, and LIT 7122 Seminar in Afro-Asian Literature, which require Master of Arts in Literature (MALit) students to create fieldwork journals and research proposals as their learning evidence and avenue to taking part in transforming communities. The activities primarily focused on Indigenous knowledge of forest, land, and water, wherein Datu Talabon introduced the students and faculty to \ud835\udc35\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc66\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc5b\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc5b, their ancestral domain. The \ud835\udc35\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc66\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc5b\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc5b is where his \ud835\udc58\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc61\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc59\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc51\ud835\udc56 and tribe members recognize their cultural ties to the traditional land, relying upon their amenities of everyday life and spiritual beliefs throughout the epochs, thus serving as their self-determination and self-autonomy.<\/div>\n

The students were also given an opportunity to experience Indigenous cooking through Datu Talabon, introducing their delicacies and linotlot, the \ud835\udc35\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc4f\ud835\udc5c \ud835\udc47\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc4f\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc64\ud835\udc4e\u2019\ud835\udc60 traditional culinary method. This is also a testament to their resistance to intervenors and transfiguration. Concerning culture preservations, Datu Talabon, Dr. Angelo Lenard Yu, and MALit students had put the Bagobo Tagabawa\u2019s folktales into written text. Three short stories titled \u201c\ud835\udc37\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc66\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc5b\ud835\udc54\u201d, \u201c\ud835\udc47\ud835\udc5c \ud835\udc47\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc5b\ud835\udc4e \ud835\udc3e\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc58 \ud835\udc35\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc66\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc5b\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc5b\u201d (The Legend of Bayongon), and \u201c\ud835\udc46\ud835\udc56 \ud835\udc34\ud835\udc66\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc61 \ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc60\ud835\udc61\ud835\udc4e \ud835\udc60\ud835\udc56 \ud835\udc34\ud835\udc5b\ud835\udc51\ud835\udc62\ud835\udc5f \ud835\udc5a\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc4e \ud835\udc3a\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc4f\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc61\ud835\udc4e \ud835\udc41\ud835\udc52\ud835\udc5b\ud835\udc54 \ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc60\ud835\udc61\ud835\udc4e \ud835\udc35\ud835\udc56\ud835\udc4e\u201d (Si Ayat ug Andur) were translated into both English and Bisaya language and were shared with \ud835\udc35\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc4f\ud835\udc5c \ud835\udc47\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc4f\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc64\ud835\udc4e children through creative big books.<\/div>\n

By way of collaborative efforts of the \ud835\udc35\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc4f\ud835\udc5c \ud835\udc47\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc4f\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc64\ud835\udc4e elders and the academic institution, the activity aims to foster education among young IPs by sharing their lores, customs, and traditions. The participants in the activity, the MALit students with the faculty, Dr. Angelo Lenard E. Yu, Jenifer R. Tuban, Rhea Izza T. Paglinawan, and Assistant Professor Josephine May Grace A. Famoso, in a nutshell, were able to decipher \ud835\udc35\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc4f\ud835\udc5c \ud835\udc47\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc4f\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc64\ud835\udc4e’\ud835\udc60 indigeneity to their homeland by understanding the tribe\u2019s ontological pursuits. The produced knowledge in this activity could be a significant resource for contemplating culture and society.<\/div>\n
