UCLA Associate Professor of Asian Languages and Cultures Oona Paredes recently finished a project compiling what will be only one of two books ever to be published in the endangered Philippine Higaunon language.“It may be the most important thing I will ever do in my life,” she said. “Not just in my career, but as a human being.”
The Higaunon people, an Indigenous minority ethnic group in the Philippines, number roughly 250,000 and live in the mountains of north central Mindanao. For more than 200 years, they have maintained an oral tradition, with ancestral stories, laws and religious practices passed down across generations through the spoken word. Until the late 20th century, their language had never been committed to paper.
