The historical formation of the Indigenous Peoples of the Cordillera as national minorities


First off, it is important to understand how the indigenous peoples of the Cordillera became national minorities.  The well-known historian of the Cordillera, William Henry Scott, explains how this happened.  Previous to Spanish colonization, there was no majority-minority dichotomy.  What generally existed throughout the archipelago which Spain colonized and named after its sovereign, were small independent barangay communities which inter-related with each other.
