This Heritage Center serves as our voice to the world. It speaks a clear message: we live among you, and we are part of you.
We have established this Center so that we may share with you our life, history, beliefs, values, rituals, traditions, knowledge, skills, practices, technology, as well as our hopes, and aspirations as people.
This Center also serves as a home to living traditions. It presents the richness and values of our diverse cultures, while at the same time portrays the dynamism of our lives.
We hope to reach out to the world through this Center, as one people, one identity - the Filipino Indigenous Peoples.
The Center is the work of our hands, hearts and minds. May everything you see, hear, touch, and think connect us all the more to you. And may they guide you to that profound discovery of your own indigenous self.
