Documentary Sources
Primary documentary sources about Lakandula are sparse, so much so that there has been debate about the actual name of the Lakan. Dery identifies three types of sources regarding Lakandula:
- direct accounts of Legaspi’s 1571 conquest, and indirect references from other documents of the period;
- a record group in the Philippine National Archives collectively referred to as the "Lacandola Documents" containing mostly 18th century Geneaological Documents; and
- folklore, which “suggests prior lineage where documentation definitively identifies only descendants”.

Famous quotes containing the words documentary and/or sources:
“If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you’ve got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you’re dumb and blind.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
“Even healthy families need outside sources of moral guidance to keep those tensions from imploding—and this means, among other things, a public philosophy of gender equality and concern for child welfare. When instead the larger culture aggrandizes wife beaters, degrades women or nods approvingly at child slappers, the family gets a little more dangerous for everyone, and so, inevitably, does the larger world.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)
