Description
Summary:Daga, Ili, Biag: Dispatches from the People of the Mountains is a series of nine narrative feature articles on the history of the Cordillera and the contemporary struggles of the indigenous Igorot. Compiled into an anthology, the stories focus on communities impacted by corporate mining, an industry that has left them vulnerable across multiple dimensions: from human health, local ecology, and economy to labor rights, gender, and cultural identity. As the Igorot have organized against large-scale mining further encroachment into their ancestral domains, their present reality remains rooted in the historic dispossession and destruction of their native lands and is at the heart of their opposition to the industry.
