In a Philippine city council, the Committee on Cultural Communities and Indigenous People is dedicated to upholding and promoting the rights and welfare of Indigenous Cultural Communities (ICCs) and Indigenous Peoples (IPs) residing within the city. This committee is responsible for formulating local policies and programs that safeguard their cultural heritage, ancestral domains, and traditional practices, ensuring their meaningful participation in city governance and development initiatives, and addressing their specific concerns and needs. It serves as a vital link between the city government and the indigenous populations, working to ensure inclusivity and respect for their unique identities.
