Brief History
Animist dwellers started populating Mindanao Philippines 67,000 years ago. The Negritos followed after 30,000 years, and the Austronesians in 4000 BC.
They became the indigenous people called ‘Lumads’. In the 13th century, many Lumads were Islamized. Sultanates were formed and Maguidanao was the largest from which Mindanao’s name was derived.
In the 16th century, the Spaniards Christianized many Lumads and Muslims.
Today, Visayans dominate Mindanao’s population.
