“…The extensive wet-rice terraces in the cordillera region of northern Luzon represent one of the best examples of pre-colonial landscape modifications for agriculture in the Philippine Islands. First mentioned in the Spanish historical record in the late 18th century (Antolin, 1789; Scott, 1974), radiocarbon dates showed that, contrary to previous arguments, the terraces were built between 1486 and 1788 CE, after the arrival of the Spanish, perhaps by people moving inland away from Spanish conquest (Acabado, 2009, 2017). Investigations of terraces in the nearby Kiyyangan site show a marked shift to wet-rice agriculture from taro cultivation, with intensification occurring in response to Spanish colonisation (Acabado, 2012, 2015; Acabado et al, 2019).…”

Archaeological and historical insights into the ecological impacts of pre-colonial and colonial introductions into the Philippine Archipelago

The tropical forests of the Philippine Archipelago are some of the most threatened in the 21st century. Among the most prominent threats are the introduction of new plant and animal species, as well as new forms of land management (e.g. plantations), that have accompanied industrial expansion. Such threats have a potentially long-term history and prehistory in the Philippines, not just as a consequence of Spanish colonial administration and land-use changes from the 16th century, but also in the context of pre-colonial introductions of rice agriculture and domesticated animals. However, the impacts of such arrivals on local Philippine societies and ecologies have remained relatively unexplored, especially in comparison to contemporary exchanges between Europe and the Neotropics. Here, we evaluate archaeological and historical evidence for the integration of novel plants, animals and economic strategies into local Philippine cultures and economies from 4000 years ago to the 19th century AD. This includes material culture, archaeozoological and archaeobotanical analysis, as well as archival references to pre- and post-colonial urban settlements, the evolution of land management and rural settlements across the Archipelago. We argue that prehistoric land-use changes, as well as the colonial introduction of crops and domesticated animals, represent a potentially interesting contrast to other tropical regions that came under Spanish imperial control between the 15th and 19th centuries. Nevertheless, to determine the full extent of their impacts on social organisation and Philippine landscapes more detailed, long-term multidisciplinary investigation is required.

“…In 1739, Fray Antonio Campo listed about 100 villages there. Less than half (40) of these villages remained 50 years later (Antolin 1970). Villages that were located in the highlands of the Cordillera (at least on the Benguet side-listed by the Monforte expedition) were still present in the twentieth century (W. Scott 1974, p. 175).…”

“…1600 and late 1800, refuting the idea of isolation. The Old Kiyyangan Village was the largest village in northern Philippine highlands that the Spanish encountered in the mid-1700s (Antolin 1970). Archaeological (Acabado 2009(Acabado , 2013(Acabado , 2015, ethnohistoric (Keesing 1962), and ethnographic (Lambrecht 1967) studies suggest that the Ifugao originally inhabited the lowland Magat Valley but moved to the interior of the Central Cordillera once the Spanish appeared in the region.…”

“…Spanish missionaries had to "save" the Igorot "pagans", while the military, composed mainly of lowland Filipinos, had to punish the highlanders for not following colonial rules-such as the tobacco monopoly-or for their crimes against Christians or Hispanicized Filipinos (Antolin 1970). Some recorded events worth highlighting are the 1745 and 1748 destruction of villages located in the "tributaries of the Matunu River" near Panuypuy and Ipituy (Scott 1975; see also Antolin 1970: 234-236).…”

“…The later settlement of Tinoc could also be deduced by its elevation, which is higher compared to nearby highland settlements. High elevation would also not be a primary choice for a people used to wearing traditional loincloths, as documented by Antolin (1970). Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, it was not included in the 1598 list of settlements; it only appeared in Spanish documents in the eighteenth century (Scott 1975).…”

Legal Pluralism, Forest Conservation, and Indigenous Capitalists: The Case of the Kalanguya in Tinoc, the Philippines

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Philippines is one of the many countries that currently acknowledge the presence of indigenous peoples (IPs) within their territories. This acknowledgment often comes with a formal recognition of the rights of IPs, including the right to practice their customary laws. Because of the equal existence of overarching state laws, this formally leads to a situation of legal pluralism for IPs. For many forest conservation advocates, legal pluralism for IPs, particularly with regard to land ownership and forest management, is expected to help conserve forests. This expectation, however, is founded on the erroneous assumption that the traditional land use of IPs is nondestructive and that traditional land ownership is communal. Using a relatively long historical perspective, this article demonstrates that these assumptions do not apply to the Kalanguya of Tinoc, the Philippines. In contrast to the notion of IPs being market-averse, this article further demonstrates that many Kalanguya have been and remain "capitalists". The article favors the inclusion of a market-based forest conservation policy, which is arguably consistent with the reality of value pluralism.
