These so-called 'non-Christians', differing widely in life and custom, were little touched by Western-style culture and government until the twentieth century. \u003ci\u003eTaming Philippine Headhunters \u003c\/i\u003e(1934) reveals the special system of government worked out by the American colonial authorities and Filipino leaders to approach the peoples of the mountain region, the issues - political, economic, social, religious and educational - and their assimilation with the Christian Filipinos of the lowlands.
