The Aeta of the Philippines

The Aeta: The Philippines’ first inhabitants

The Aetas live in the northern part of the Philippines on the island of Luzon. Historians and anthropologists debate precisely when and how they migrated to the islands, the consensus being that they crossed from the island of Borneo between 20 and 30 thousand years ago, using a land bridge that was partially covered by water around 5,000 years ago — the remaining part of which is now the island of Palawan.

In this exhibit you will see:

  • Recent photography taken with the Aeta’s permission.
  • The Aeta in pop-culture.
  • The Aeta in folklore, tales, or legends.
  • The Aeta in local historical accounts.
  • Artifacts used and/or crafted by the Aeta.
