“…As mentioned previously, much of this activity is subsistence-based, and while the Aeta continue to live and work in their forest home, they often have little control over policy governing the management and use of that forest occurring at a municipal, provincial, and federal levels. While customary laws and traditions of Indigenous peoples are respected by Philippine law (Camacho et al, 2012), it was the authors' experience that authorities rarely consult with the concerned Indigenous groups in meaningful ways. Yet, traditional knowledge systems and natural resource management practices could potentially be ideal models for the promotion of forest sustainability in the region (Camacho et al, 2012).…”

“…Thus, to redress overtly culturally disruptive interventions, various organizations and agencies will be well advised to communicate directly with local Indigenous inhabitants to understand their remarkably unique predicament, concerns, and abilities. The maintenance of traditional cultural and forest/resource management knowledge that preserves some of the distinctiveness of Philippines Indigenous cultures and lifestyles (Camacho et al, 2012), is threatened by economic, political, and demographic challenges, as well as by alarming rates of deforestation and land-use conflict. Fundamentally for the Aeta, conflicting global perspectives on traditional forest management practices are compounded by insecurity of land tenure, and incompatible dichotomies in forest conservation versus exploitation.…”

“…Thus, it was deemed necessary to present this information in a more widely accessible format to advance understanding of both the distinctiveness and similarities of Indigenous peoples within the same province or region. The documentation of the unique situation of the Philippine Aeta is essential for the reduction of inequity, but also to show how culture and knowledge systems may be adopted or transferred between distinct Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups for the sustainable management of forest systems (Camacho et al, 2012).…”

“…It can assist in self-determination, as well as in legitimizing and articulating land and resource claims (Dove, 2006). Additionally, it can provide a means to develop models for sustainable, innovative, and culturally appropriate forest management (Camacho et al, 2012).…”

The Aeta Magbukún of Mariveles are one of the least known and researched Indigenous peoples remaining on the fringe of the bay, and within the remaining forests in Bataan province on Luzon Island in the Philippines. This work describes the unique cultural systems and language of the Aeta Magbukún tribe in Biaan, Mariveles, and both the traditional forest resource use and the evolving new subsistence practices developed to adapt to the encroachment of non-Indigenous peoples onto ancestral lands. The Aeta's forest resource use practices are discussed from a sustainable Indigenous development context within unique socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental circumstances in Bataan.

Although faced with historical and ongoing hardships, many indigenous communities in Southeast Asia have managed to survive and thrive. The identification of factors that assist these communities in coping with the challenges experienced would help enhance their overall psychological well‐being and resilience. The current review outlines types of protective factors for the indigenous communities in Southeast Asia focusing on the cultural, family and community elements linked to their psychological well‐being. Four themes of protective factors were identified strong connection to the land and the environment, embracing cultural norms and traditions, passing down and keeping indigenous knowledge across generations, and emphasis on community and social cohesion. Findings suggest that the value of interconnectedness serves as an overarching theme that forms the worldview of the indigenous communities in Southeast Asia. Interconnectedness was important to the indigenous peoples as they considered themselves to be extensions of their family, community, ancestors, future descendants, the land and to all living things and creations that reside on their lands. Future intervention attempts to promote resilience among these communities should take these factors into account, and pay closer attention to community‐level factors that seem to have a profound impact on the indigenous construction of resilience.
