520			_aIn the Preface, B.P. Tapang says: "Every paper in the collection resonates with a theme that she (June Prill-Brett) has worked on as a scholar of he Cordillera." There is no Exaggeration there. The choice of research questions Prill-Brett pursued over the years as an anthropologist was prescient-the importance of finding answers to each being underlined daily at this juncture of Cordillera history. While the questions span an extensive range, they seem to be converging today around the notion of ancestral domain. She has explored questions that touch on common property regimes, customary law and legal pluralism, "tribal war" and maintaining the peace, indigenous knowledge systems, natural resource management, local history, and social change. What makes each work especially interesting is that her answer is always particular to a time and place because the ritual system and the social infrastructure are always provided as contexts. Going from the notion of ancestral domain to action, however, is to negotiate an extremely slippery slope. It is June Prill-brett's work that shall not likely help us cross over to the safe side.
