Abstract
Through this study, the authors developed a framework for Indigenous Peoples’ cooperatives using the experiences of the Bukidnon Tagoloanon Mulahay Ha Kabukalagan Agricultural Cooperative (BUKTAMACO). The Tagoloanon tribe is one of the seven indigenous tribes in Bukidnon, Philippines. The researchers used a case study and ethnographic designs to which the internal and external stakeholders of BUKTAMACO contributed. The results revealed that, to manage its affairs, the tribe followed customary practices like Indigenous leadership, the observance of community values, the concepts of communal property and profit sharing, and concern for the community. Using their experiences, the authors developed a five-pillar sustainability framework that highlighted customary practices as the foundation of this framework. In addition, the role of the Council of Elders was evident in ensuring strength in leadership through consensus building.

Résumé
Au moyen de cette étude, les auteures ont développé un cadre pour les coopératives des peuples autochtones en se fondant sur les expériences de la coopérative agricole Bukidnon Tagoloanon Mulahay Ha Kabukalagan (BUKTAMACO). La tribu Tagoloanon est l’une des sept tribus autochtones de Bukidnon, aux Philippines. Les chercheuses ont utilisé une étude de cas et des modèles ethnographiques auxquels ont contribué les parties prenantes internes et externes de la BUKTAMACO. Les résultats montrent que, pour gérer ses affaires, la tribu suit une approche traditionnelle fondée sur le leadership autochtone, le respect des valeurs communautaires, les concepts de propriété communale et de partage des bénéfices, et le souci de la communauté. À partir de leurs expériences, les auteures ont élaboré un cadre de durabilité à cinq piliers qui met en évidence les pratiques traditionnelles en tant que fondements de ce cadre. D’autre part, le rôle du Conseil des anciens était évident pour assurer l’efficacité du leadership par la formation de consensus.
