Traditions

context. Journal of Southeast Asian Studies, 50(1), 86–106.

According to Paredes, O (2010) Despite universalizing aspirations, the concept of indignity

carries distinct political connotations in the Philippines, where the Indigenous Peoples’

Rights Act has created a bureaucracy that purportedly responds to the special needs of

Indigenous Peoples, including the preservation of cultural traditions and securing title to

ancestral lands. While laudatory on the surface, in practice the current legal and bureaucratic

framework allows the state to impose its own definition of indignity, often compelling

indigenous minorities to conform to stereotypes in order to acquire the fundamental rights

and benefits that, by law, are supposed to be guaranteed. The Philippine states’ requirements

for being recognized as ‘Indigenous’ are transforming how Indigenous Peoples maintain and

perform their ancestral traditions, often leading to highly divisive internal debates about

proper cultural and political representation.
