Have you heard of the tribal communities who hold on to traditional customs even in this age of technology? We are talking about such a tribe. The Mangyan tribe in the Philippines live by their customs. The practice followed by this sect in relation to child-rearing has been severely criticized. Among them there is a practice of training boys from childhood.
After marriage their sons should be able to satisfy their wives. Boys are trained with this goal in mind. For that, boys are given various trainings. Boys are also given the right to take as many girls as partners before marriage. But the important fact to note is that girls do not have this training and special rights. The sect also practiced circumcision of boys who turned 13 years of age.

Mangea, the last island of the Cook Islands, has been largely converted to Christianity, but the old beliefs are still maintained by its people. The people of the other 13 islands were ready to destroy their idols of worship at the call of Christian missionaries. But the people of Mangia resisted the Christian conversion for some time.
Instead of destroying their idols, they hid them in caves near Mangia. Then the cave entrance was closed with a big stone. They did this in the hope that one day they would be able to recover their idols. Excavators of the Tangatatau Rockshelter say that the Mangia tribe settled in the area around 1000 CE. Some believe that this island arose from Awaiki.

Some suggest that other settlements evolved from Rarotonga, Aitutaki, Atiu, and Tonga. Tankatatau Rockshelter is the earliest known site of sweet potato cultivation in Polynesia. In the early days, the tribal people here lived in coastal areas. By the 16th century, they migrated to the inner villages. Also, inter-island trade declined. It is also believed that tribal chieftains competed with each other for territory and status.
