Visiting the Blaans of Lamlifew

The Lamlifew Tribal Women's Association (LTWA) is organized to assist the visitor in quickly finding levels at which communictaion can exist across cultural and historical barriers. Many of the villagers speak Pilipino and Cebuano fluently, and can convey Blaan culture while self-translating.

The LTWA requires the same respect demanded by other peoples who meet visitors. The museum is the proper place for introductions, questions, narratives, and initiatives at friendships. The LTWA can assign guides to the museum premises, through the nearby gardens planted with traditional root crops and medicinal plants, and a community weaving center.

The visitors are asked not to enter family homes without invitation, nor wander in carefully planted farm plots.

The visitors should take care not to overly disrupt the activities of the weavers, who need their concentration at all times.

Visitors who wish to experience music and dance that preceded colonization, may enjoy performances at the open space in front of the museum/house.

The LTWA can prepare traditional Blaan food if notified at least one day prior to arrival.

    LTWA would love to hear from you...
