Abstract
The potential contribution of Indigenous philosophy to global sustainability remains largely unrealized. A significant part of the challenge is the need to actualize the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples within the jurisdictions of specific countries. The Philippines represents countries where Indigeneity is defined more by community of residence and traditional livelihoods, rather than heritage alone. Although Indigenous rights have been recognized in Philippine law, approaches to poverty mitigation and tribal development that support global sustainability may best be advanced through implementation of the catalyst role by Non-Government Organizations as demonstrated for a project with the Egongot Tribe of Aurora Province.
