The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan, through its Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts (XCCA), will hold "Yamug 10 - Mindanao Historical Injustice" lecture series on October 7 (8AM to 5PM) at the XU Little Theater.

Yamug is a flagship project under the cultural education program of XCCA and this is in celebration of the National Indigenous Peoples' Month.

This year’s Yamug focuses on the Mindanao historical injustices experienced by our Lumad and Muslim brothers and sisters.

The speakers are North Cotabato 2nd District Representative Nancy A Catamco (Obo Manobo), Talaandig Datu Victorino Saway, Dr Rohane Derugongan (Maranao), and peace educator Saturnina "Bebot" Rodil.  

This lecture series will allow us to understand more of Mindanao's history through the lenses of the struggles and triumphs of the indigenous peoples.

This event is open to the Xavier Ateneo community and the public for free. Certificates of participation will be given to the attendees after the program.∎
