The heritage of the noble ancestry of the Indigenous People of Bukidnon is symbolized in their art form of beadwork representing their nature consciousness.  Their creations are a story of sophistication and understanding of nature, being unique, local, as well as universal. 

Each tribe’s patterns and colors represents the craft and life forms found in their environment. Beads and brass were traded since the turn of the century through their intricate kinship with the Moros from Lanao. 

Each bead is meticulously set one after the other to form a symmetrical representation of their environment. Triangles are scaled to form the prestigious mountain ranges of which the tribes of Bukidnon are the custodians. 

It has been their life and sense of community when their farming responsibilities of the day are done, that the women gather around during the afternoon rains and early evenings to create the stunning artistic beadwork worn during special occasions and rituals.
