A tribe in the Philippines has served its own tribal justice on Canadian mining company, TVI Pacific.
The Subanen, whose name means ‘people of the river’, live in the forested mountains of Mindanao island. They have invoked their traditional justice authority, the ‘Gukom’, which has found the Canadian mining company TVI Pacific guilty of crimes against the Subanen and their land in the Philippines.
