A golfing buddy pointed out to me that nowadays, everybody seems to be claiming "ancestral domain." It does seem to be that way after the hullabaloo created by the highly disputed Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domains which triggered the bloody war in Mindanao.

To avoid any confusion;

Ancestral Domain - refers to all lands and natural resources occupied or possessed by indigenous communities, by themselves or through their ancestors, communally or individually, in accordance with their customs and traditions since time immemorial continuously to the present except when interrupted by war, force meisure, or displacement by force, deceit or stealth.

Ancestral Land - refers to land occupied possessed and utilized by individuals, families or clans who are members of the indigenous communities since time immemorial by themeselves or through their predecessors-in-interest, continuously to the present except when interrupted by war, force meisure or displacement by force, deceit or stealth.
