SECTION 5. Definition of Terms. — The following terms are hereby defined for the purpose of this Act:
(a) Ancestral Domain — refers to all lands and natural resources occupied or possessed by indigenous cultural communities, by themselves or through their ancestors, communally or individually, in accordance with their customs and traditions since time immemorial, continuously to the present except when interrupted by war, force majeure, or displacement by force, deceit or stealth. It includes all adjacent areas generally belonging to them and which are necessary to ensure their economic, social and cultural welfare.
(b) Indigenous Cultural Communities — shall refer to tribes, including but not limited to Subanens, who have continuously lived as communities an communally bounded and defined land since time immemorial and have succeeded in preserving, maintaining and sharing common bonds of language, customs, traditions and other distinctive cultural traits.
