PHILIPPINE NEGRITO PEOPLES


This set of photos is amazing! There are only a few, but those few blew me away.........Taken circa .1898 on the Island of NEGROS in the Central Philippines, the images show family life in a place where I never even knew existed.

'The term Negrito refers to several ethnic groups in isolated parts of Southeast Asia.[1] Their current populations include the Aeta, Agta, Ayta, Ati, Dumagat and at least 25 other tribes of the Philippines, the Semang of the Malay peninsula, the Mani of Thailand and 12 Andamanese tribes of the Andaman Islands of the Indian Ocean.'
