The MA History (Ethnohistory and Local History) program at UP Baguio has a generalist orientation while focusing on ethnohistory and local history. Barber and Berdan (1998) define ethnohistory as “an interdisciplinary field that studies past human behavior and is characterized by a primary reliance on documents, the use of input from other sources when available, a methodology that incorporates historiography, and cultural relativism, and a focus on cultural interaction.” The crux of ethnohistory as a field of study is change in a culture – its nature and causes (James Axtell, 1979). On the other hand, Local History is a field of study with focus on a defined spatial unit, e.g., region, province, town, or locality (Philippine Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, Vol II, 1993: 106). These foci complement the institutional and intellectual endeavors of UP Baguio on ethnic and indigenous students specially within the university’s contexts of Northern Luzon and the Cordillera, a region teeming with historical and cultural significance.
