List of national, regional and local indigenous organizations
It has to be noted that the following list of organisations working with indigenous issues is not exhaustive.
National indigenous peoples' formations
In 1983, leaders from the major indigenous groups gathered to form the Consultative Assembly of Minority Peoples of the Philippines (CAMPP). In 1987, several regional indigenous organizations who were consistently active in CAMPP decided to transform this regular gathering into the Kalipunan ng mga Katutubong Mamamayan ng Pilipinas (KAMP, Federation of Indigenous Peoples of the Philippines). KAMP remains one of the broadest national alliances of indigenous groups in the country, encompassing 15 regional indigenous peoples formations.
In December 1994, PLANT (Pambansang Lupon ng mga Nakatatanda sa Tribu; National Council of Tribal Elders), a new national IP federation was created during the First Congress of PANLIPI's Council of Elders. Naturally, most of its members were (and still are) partners of PANLIPI (many at the same time under the Catholic Church's Tribal Filipino Apostolate). PLANT does not appear to be very active these days.
Another national formation is the Koalisyon ng Katutubong Samahan sa Pilipinas formation, KKASAPI
(National Coalition of Indigenous organizations in the Philippines) which was established in October 1997. KKASAPI was instrumental in lobbying for the passage of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) and lobbying the Supreme Court to uphold the constitutionality of IPRA. Its programme is on empowerment and strengthening of its local indigenous organizations, advocacy for IPRA and scholarship for indigenous youth.
The Indigenous Peoples Human Rights Watch was established in January 2006 and is a cooperation between Cordillera Peoples Alliance (CPA), Kalipunan ng mga Katutubong Mamamayan ng Pilipinas (KAMP, Federation of Indigenous Peoples of the Philippines), Cordillera Peoples Legal Center (DINTEC) and Kusog sa Katawhang Lumad sa Mindanao (KALUMARAN).
National Confederation of Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines (NCIPP) was active in the late 1990s, but appears inactive at present. A few national indigenous organizations have been reported as working closely with the Philippine government, namely, the Association of Tribal Councils of the Philippines (ATCP) and Tribal Communities Association of the Philippines (TRICAP).
