3. Reflect: What can you say about the economic and cultural condition of the different
IP communities that we have discussed? (Maximum of five sentences).

 Each IP community introduced themselves by having their own beauty, significance,

creativity and I felt the richness of every economic and cultural condition of different IP
communities. Their means of living focus on where they live, lifestyle and what kind of
environment they have, from hunting and gathering at the mountains, crafting and
weaving different worthwhile items, diving and fishing at the bodies of water. Up to
becoming artistic having their traditions like dancing, singing and even doing rituals. Our
country is rich with culture, however due to rapid changes of the world, challenges may
also be encountered. They are even considered as the country’s poorest social group. The
culture and tradition of our ancestors should remain not only in our heart but should be
taught and shown to the next generation.
