Life As An Ati Tribe

Life As An Ati Tribe

If you were given an opportunity to live in the city, would you?

“I would not choose to live in the city, we are now contended, because in the mountains, you have a good source of food that you cannot buy in the market, we have a vegetable garden. It’s seems a bit easy to live in the corn field even-though there is no electricity and source of water. That’s what God has given me, so there’s nothing impossible.

Don’t you want to have any kind of a modern facility in here?

“Maybe no, we are very happy with our lives now. That we have a house and you see your kids they are healthy and good. That you can eat three times a day, so we are now contended. Of course, we have dreams but it’s not that high because once you dream really high, if you fall down someday, you would fall down really hard.”

(Nema – Ati Tribe, Dumarao, Philippines)
