Abstrakt:

Indigenous peoples’ demand for rights of autonomy and exercise of traditional practices, among many concerns, led to The Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act (IPRA/RA 8371) of 1997, a landmark legislation for the protection of Indigenous Peoples’ rights in the Philippines.  But, more than two decades after this legislation many of its provisions proved distant from grassroots realities and have even exacerbated marginalization. Through fieldwork, this lecture shows the disconnect between representation and consent as formulated in the IPRA and how such terms operate locally as a “representational authority” and “community-negotiated consent”. As cases in point, the Iraya and Tau-Buhid Mangyan demonstrate that politicized forms of these terms arise as a response to the political demands of the State. Throughout, this lecture argues for the acknowledgment of differing notions of these concepts among Indigenous peoples as more than mere cultural conflict but as a political ecological issue. It concludes with a recommendation that the process of obtaining consent– as a basic right to assent or dissent to the state (and state-like) demands must be examined ethnographically to contextualize the ways consent involving Indigenous communities in the Philippines (and abroad as may be applicable) is established in works involving them. ​
