PROFILING THE INDIGENOUS CULTURAL PRESERVATION PRACTICES OF THE BLAAN TRIBE: A QUALITATIVE DESCRIPTIVE STUDY

LOVELYN L. LACAR

Abstract

This study investigated how an indigenous community preserves its cultural heritage using a qualitative narrative design aimed at understanding lived experiences, historical knowledge, and cultural continuity. Seventeen community members from selected barangays in Koronadal City participated, with ten providing in-depth interviews and seven contributing through a focus group discussion. Findings revealed that cultural preservation is sustained through oral storytelling, ritual practices, and traditional craftsmanship, although these are increasingly shaped by modernization. Challenges emerged from technological distractions, limited institutional support, scarce cultural mentors, and declining youth participation. External influences such as new religious affiliations, economic pressures, and shifting community roles further affected the continuity of traditional beliefs and practices, leading to selective adaptation of cultural elements. The study implies that intentional and community-grounded cultural transmission efforts are essential to support long-term preservation.
