K’na: The Dreamweaver

K’na: The dreamweaver is a movie coming from the T’boli tribe of the southern part of

the Philippines particularly in the South Cotabato. It is a story of a young princess who was

choosen by the Gods to continue their weaving culture. K’na, the princess of the tribe was being

thought by the ancients of the T’boli on how to weave for the princess to continue its living

creature, the weaving but was tested by the time to choose on what she wants. To continue

the weaving culture if their tribe or to continue loving the person whom she in love with. She

needs to give up one and that is her love and feelings for a man to stand for their culture. The

movie was entitled or called as the dreamweaver because as they weave in their tribe the

pattern they followed will be in accordance to their dreams and imaginations. The art found in

the story is the textile art of the tribe. The T’boli people uses plants of abaca in creating a fibers

that will be use in constructing their dressess as symbols and as art of their tribe. The movie

revolves in showing the breathtaking sceneries particularly the lake sebo and its cool green

sorroundings. It is a showcasing of the practices, cultures and traditions of T’boli people into

the world through presenting it in cinema. The practices and rituals of the tribe can be seen in

the different scenes of the movie as well as its cultures and traditions.

The importants scene of the movie is how they lived in everyday life. It’s far different

from we had witnessed and exested sorrounding today. They are still managed to the

traditional activities and things. Almost every scene of the movie is very important for it shows

their culture, traditions and practices especially those things when someone will die, they still

used and practiced ancient times way of burial. The scene that I really want is the way of

courtship in their tribe. It is very unique and I think can only be seen in their tribe. Through the

use and tying the knot of abaca fibers in the trees, the man then can express their emotion and

feeling to a girl unlike these generation who does far the same. Some of my observations in the

film is that from the first until the ending they wear their tribal dress and also they really use

their own dialect through out the whole duration of movie. It shows how they are proud of their

dialect and their cultures are. I was empressed how the T’boli people continue to preserve their

wealth besides the different advancement and modernization happened in their

neighboorhood.The movie is not just showcasing the culture, practices and traditions of T’boli
