A Mumbaki from Ifugao, Philippines..
Mamerto "Lagitan" Tindongan hails from the Ifugao tribe in the Northern Philippines. He is an 8th generation mumbaki (shaman/healer). He was initiated into the Baki Ifugao role by his father in 2011, though he grew up with the tradition since childhood. Baki is Ifugao's spirituality, which is a way of relating with nature spirits, deities, and ancestors. He was also initiated in the Earth Keeper Quero Peruvian tradition, as Laika, in 2005. And Paqo, 4th level Andean Priest in 2007.
In his adulthood, he pursued graduate studies in the US. After a deep spiritual awakening, he returned to Ifugao, Philippines to revitalize, preserve, and live their simple lives. He restores damaged Ifugao huts, revives the Baki spiritual practices, practices traditional farming, carves wood for healing, and re-powers the Ifugao community, among many others. In 2013, he started to build an Ifugao hut in Ohio, United States that united many people of Filipino descent and globally. In 2019, he and his children started the Ifugao Center for Living Culture to help preserve and inspire the embodiment of Ifugao and global sacred wisdom.
