Brianna Ivey: Weekly Artist Post 7

Jacob Maentz




1. Jacob Maentz, photographs of the Philippines indigenous people. While many of the people living in the Philippines decided to live a modern day lifestyle,  the people living on the coastal region of the Philippines continue to live according to their ancestor's traditions and practices.

2. With the Philippines being made out of thousands of different islands, fishing is how many of the indigenous people live. Many of themail fishermen catch enough fish to feed their families.  They use different techniques to catch different marine life. Sometimes they used modern fishing techniques.  The culture and heritage of the indigenous people are being threatened by metropolitan regions and commercial fishing practices.

3. It is sad that we are living in a world that is obsessed with money and selfish and are willing to push people out of their homes, take food out of the mouth of others for themselves.  The people who fish to sell to the masses can easily fish without kicking out the indigenous people, but these people care more about how much money will the fish give them than how lives will be affected if we take over the water and the life in it.
