“…To date, only a few ethnologists and graduate students have conducted general field research on their practices, and most of their reports remain unpublished or not easily accessible (see Pastor 1976;Lalo 2014;Laugrand, forthcoming). Available publications explore the concepts of territory (Guéguen 2010), local knowledge (Espesor 2018), horse fighting and leadership (Laugrand 2018), bird knowledge and predictions (Laugrand, Laugrand, and Tremblay 2018), and strategies for cajoling and winning over spirits (Laugrand and Laugrand 2020).…”

Since the proclamation of the Indigenous People's Rights Act in 1997, the government of the Philippines has started to issue ancestral domain land titles, in an attempt to outline within its own legal framework how indigenous peoples should deal with land claims, disputes and ownership. Drawing on eleven months of fieldwork (2015-2019), this article describes the notions of ownership (fun) and occupancy (mnè) among the Blaan of Malbulen, and discusses whether their own views of the land are compatible with those proposed by the government. In fact, Blaan do not consider themselves to be the first inhabitants of the land. This status belongs to the fun spirits, its true owners, whose approval is needed to be accepted as an occupant, i.e. to build a house, to hunt, to cut down a tree or to cross a river. Humans are here believed to be mere occupants of the land. Places, humans and nonhuman beings are interwoven in ways that we have investigated through participatory and digital cartography. Mapping these beings reveals an interactive landscape. Its epistemology allows the anthropologist to question their own views and representations of space, and to understand how they may differ from local perspectives.
