Karminn C.D. Daytec Yañgot is a Teaching Fellow in Anthropology and a PhD candidate in the Indigenous Studies Program at the University of the Philippines Baguio. Her research and her development work center on Indigenous peoples’ rights, claimsmaking, and the political constructions and re/presentations of Indigeneity in maritime Southeast Asia. As a founding member of the Indigenous Studies Circle, she holds herself accountable to Indigenous communities she collaborates with for nurturing meaningful engagement and rethinking dominant narratives of Indigeneity. Karminn’s transdisciplinary approach to Indigenous Studies integrates anthropology and development studies, grounded in her standpoint as a Kankana-ey woman. Her ongoing dissertation project, Tensions and Territories, examines Native Title and claimsmaking in the Philippines. Beyond academia, she tries her hand at storytelling as a mode of knowledge co-production and works on public-facing content on learning with, by, and about Indigenous peoples through @indigena.ph (IG).
