Batak

The Vanishing Batak Tribe

The end of the Batak had come and gone. Their culture was already gone. The language was all that remained. Do you doom yourself and your children to lives of abject poverty, ridden with disease and living with hunger on a daily basis just to preserve a language?

Stop Mission Schools for Tribals in South Palawan!

Will Christian arrogancy and aggression never end? Why evict tribal people from their forest homelands and force them into mission schools? Life in the forest was perfectly adapted to the natural environment over thousands of generations, and this harmony between man and nature is now being destroyed for progress and development. But progress and development for what? Tribal people, once culturally uprooted by civilization, become the underdogs within the civilized society after a short while. This is the result of a UN recent study.
