IV.3. Abstraction
Few pre-colonial cultures are as diverse as that of Mindanao, which combined
influences from the Visayans, the Muslims, and the nearby Indian and Majapahit
empires. An American census conducted in the early 1900s noted that the
Mindanao was inhabited by people "greatly divided in origin, temperament and
religion". Evidence of the island's cultural diversity can be seen in the
characteristics of their arts and crafts.
