Leaves on the Water: The struggle for survival of Pinatubo Aetas. by Rufino G. Tima
Leaves on the Water: The struggle for survival of Pinatubo Aetas. by Rufino G. Tima. This book gives an in-depth look into the life of the Pinatubo Aetas of Zambales province. It clearly describes and defines them as a tribal people who have been forced to undertake extensive changes in their lifestyle in order to survive against the more aggressive and dominant lowlanders. The eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991 forced a more rapid change. Because they live in the vicinity of the volcano, they lost their means of survival -- the plants and animals endemic to the area. The author, Dr. Rufino G. Tima, is an anthropologist who had studied both in the Philippines and in the U.S. More importantly is the fact that he came from the Kalinga tribe of Northern Luzon and can identify with the plight of tribal people.
