The Lumad are a collective term for various indigenous groups in the Philippines, primarily found in Mindanao. Notable Lumad tribes include the Manobo, T'boli, B'laan, Subanen, and Bagobo, each with distinct languages, cultures, and traditions. These tribes share a deep connection to their ancestral lands and often engage in agricultural practices, traditional crafts, and rituals that reflect their rich heritage. The Lumad face challenges related to land rights, cultural preservation, and environmental issues due to modernization and development pressures.
