About

"Mangyan" is a term often used to refer to several Indigenous communities on the island of Mindoro in the Philippines. This virtual panel event focuses on Mangyan scripts and literary heritage, which have persisted through the centuries despite the experiences of Spanish, and then American rule. It also highlights Mangyan collections at the Library of Congress, the Mangyan Heritage Center, Newberry Library, and Yale Peabody Museum. Panelists will discuss Mangyan holdings at these institutions, as well as Mangyan writing - thought to be Indic-derived - and literary forms such as the ambahan, a song poem of seven syllables per line. This event seeks to raise awareness about Mangyan literary culture, and opportunities for research on Mangyan-related topics both in the United States and in the Philippines. It also aims to draw attention to Indigenous cultures and contributions, specifically those of the Mangyan, in a highly visible national space, which the Library of Congress affords as one of the oldest cultural institutions in the United States.
