Indigenous Studies is, though not exclusively, about generating and expanding knowledge and understanding of cultures that are often on the cusp of disappearance due to assault by modernizing influences from the outside. Just as often, the bearers of these cultures are marginalized, demeaned and misunderstood as “others” in their national settings. This keynote discusses the field of Indigenous Studies in relation to the Igorots or the peoples of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR). The speech notes the humanitarian, scientific and policy implications of Indigenous Studies. It argues that this field, by the knowledge and understanding it builds and disseminates, could go a long way toward smoothing the path of indigenous groups like the Igorots toward meaningful and fulfilling participation in the mainstream (i.e., national society). This would not only add significantly to the cultural endowment of the nation but also potentially enrich and strengthen the social fabric of the country. Further, it would liberate the national groups of the curse of an attitude of superiority and exclusivism and foster in its stead the spirit of equality, tolerance and goodwill. The keynote concludes that Indigenous Studies is greatly important for countries like the Philippines and deserves generous support.
CLOSING PROGRAM Dr. Albert S. Bacdayan is a retired professor of Anthropology at the University of Kentucky, and currently the chairman of the Igorot Scholarship Program (ISP). His main research interest is in Cordillera Studies, particularly on religious acculturation, customary law, sexual equality, irrigation, and culture change. His best-known work, The Kalinga Peace Pact System in the Modern World (1967), has retained its relevance to Cordillera Studies across the years, as have his academic papers read or published in various journals such as Ethnology, Studies in Third World Societies, Saint Louis University Research Journal and Law and Society Review, Journal of Asian Studies, and American Anthropologist. His articles also appear in several books among which are as follows: Cross-Cultural Approaches (1967), Sexual Stratification (1977), Irrigation and Agricultural Development in Southeast Asia (1980), The Content of Culture: Constants and Variants (1989), Towards Understanding Peoples of the Cordillera, Vol. 1 (2001). More recently, he wrote the Foreword to The Making of the Igorot: Contours of Cordillera Consciousness (2004) and presented “Ritual for All Occasions: The Significance and Persistence of the ‘Senga’ in Northern Sagada” at the SaliksikKordilyera Lecture Series of UP Baguio (2013). He finished his undergraduate studies at the University of the Philippines (1956), his master’s degree at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut (1960), and his PhD in Anthropology at Cornell University (1967). He did fieldwork in Sagada, Mountain Province, Philippines and in San Joaquin Valley, California. He taught at the Department of Anthropology in the College of Arts and Sciences, University of Kentucky, capping his academic career as director of graduate studies and head of the said department prior to his retirement in 2006.
