The Bureau of Non-Christian Tribes for the Philippine Islands, written by David P. Barrows and published in 1901, is a historical account of the establishment and operations of the bureau during the American colonial period in the Philippines. The book provides a detailed description of the bureau's mission to study and document the culture, customs, and beliefs of the non-Christian tribes in the Philippines, which were largely unknown to the outside world at the time.The author, who served as the director of the bureau from 1900 to 1903, provides an in-depth analysis of the challenges faced by the bureau in its efforts to establish contact with the various tribes, gain their trust, and conduct research. He also describes the various expeditions and surveys conducted by the bureau, which involved traveling to remote parts of the country and interacting with the tribes on their own terms.The book also sheds light on the political and social context of the time, including the tensions between the American colonial government and the various tribes, as well as the efforts to integrate the tribes into the larger Philippine society. The author provides a critical assessment of the bureau's successes and failures, as well as its impact on the non-Christian tribes and the larger Philippine society.Overall, The Bureau of Non-Christian Tribes for the Philippine Islands is a valuable historical document that provides a unique perspective on the American colonial period in the Philippines, as well as the efforts to understand and document the diverse cultures and beliefs of the country's indigenous peoples.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
