We began by honoring our ancestors and traditions through a sacred opening ritual spearheaded by the ICC’s/IP’s of Sison, Pangasinan followed by a vibrant Nainkaysaan Nga Pannagna (Solidarity Walk) that brought diverse communities together as one. It was participated by the ICC’s/IP’s of Region 1 as well as the dedicated employees, stakeholders, partners and benefactors of the entire Indigenous Peoples community across the region. A warm Pangngagsapa Ti Komunidad (Community Breakfast) were celebrated as a symbol to strengthen the bonds and setting a collaborative tone for the rest of the summit.

Proudly moving forward as one Indigenous Peoples community to protect, promote, and recognize the rights of our Indigenous Cultural Communities. ✊🏞️
