territories which include land, bodies of water and all other natural resources therein. IPRA provides for a process of titling of lands through the issuance of CADTs. The law gave jurisdiction of all ancestral domain claims to the NCIP, including those previously awarded by the DENR and all future claims that shall be filed. The basis for filing new claims include the submission of a valid perimeter map, evidence and proof, and the accomplishment of an Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP). All existing ancestral domain claims previously recognized through the issuance of claims (CADCs) are required to pass through a process of affirmation for titling. CADTs (and CALTs) are ownership tenurial instruments issued and awarded to an applicant community or clan. The effectivity of these tenurial instruments has no term limits and representatives chosen by the community act as holders of the CADT in trust in behalf of the concerned indigenous community. Coverage of ancestral domains. The definition of ancestral domains covers forests, pastures, residential and agricultural lands, hunting grounds, worship and burial areas, and includes lands no longer occupied exclusively by indigenous cultural communities, but to which they had traditional access, particularly the home ranges of indigenous cultural communities who are still nomadic or shifting cultivators. (IPRA, Chapter 3, Section 3-a) Principle of self-delineation. IPRA provides for indigenous communities to document and delineate their own ancestral domain claims, and to formulate their own sustainable development and management plans (ADSDPPs), based on their indigenous knowledge systems and practices. Very strict rules of survey and delineation are prescribed by IPRA. Survey grade accuracy is required in the delineation of CADT claims, and surveys should be undertaken only by a licensed geodetic engineer. A claim for ancestral domain may include terrestrial, coastal and aquatic resources, and airspace – depending on the ability of the applicant-community to generate the required body of evidence and proof. Access is limited to the certified members of the indigenous community or clan who are listed in an official survey, which is part of the documentation of the claim. Migrants or non-IPs may be included if they are recognized and given limited rights as community members through the land tenure and allocation policies as defined in the respective ADSDPPs.
