The children’s book ‘Ipeyas nan Gawis’ offers a gentle yet powerful introduction to Indigenous values that have sustained communities and life for generations. Honoring the ways of life of the Cordillera peoples, the story centers on the journey of a young boy as he learns that gawis – or goodness –is not a possession to be kept, but a living principle to be shared and cultivated. Guided by ancestral wisdom, the boy comes to understand that well-being is collective and rooted in relationships with people, land and spirit.
