At the center of the hostilities was the indigenous peoples' struggle for self-determination and self-governance. The study reveals that the Kaingas have different but highly desirable governance practices that existed way before the inception of the nation. Kalinga institutions are discussed and then evaluated based on themes of interest to public administration. Furthermore, the study examined the implications of the Kalinga system of governance to modern day administration of local and national affairs, particularly in relation to the desire of the indigenous peoples for self-governance. - Reproduced.  aPublic administration  aPhilippine Journal of Public Administration
