The Tasaday have come a long way from being projected as ‘stone age people’ to being ancestral claimants today. The objectives of the forum are to discuss continuing issues of representation of the Tasaday and their implications for the practice of ‘Public Interest Anthropology’. The event is also a commemoration of the International Tasaday Conference held in August 1986, which was sponsored by the Department of Anthropology and the UGAT.
