    This document summarizes a study of the B'laan culture in the Philippines through ethnographic and archaeological research. The study documented aspects of B'laan culture such as their justice system, social organization, marriage traditions, and religious practices through participant observation, interviews and site investigations. Archaeologically, nine significant cultural heritage sites were identified, though some had been damaged. The study concludes that B'laan cultural institutions and indigenous knowledge should be integrated into education, while cultural heritage sites require protection.
