The Aeta living on the Western slopes of the Mt. Pinatubo for centuries maintained contacts with their agricultural neighbors in the lowlands. But how they managed to preserve their traditions, and retained numerous basic elements of a hunter-gatherer culture is the focus of this book. This examines how the Aeta coped with their new situation, what strategies for survival they developed, how they adapted to a radically altered environment, and how, in these tumultuous times, they interacted with the lowland population.
