This book discusses Mindanao, the southernmost major island of the Philippines, home to ten or more distinct indigenous tribes, known collectively as the Wild Tribes. The book's author, an American missionary who lived among the tribes for many years, provides a chronicle of their history, culture, religious beliefs, and way of life.
