Long before the arrival of the Spaniards, the original settlers of Bukidnon province, commonly known as Bukidnon, settled along the coast areas and near the riverbanks.

The lowlanders began to use the generic name “Bukidnon” to refer to the Indigenous Peoples who settled in the mountains. Among themselves, however, they distinguished each band and tribe with names associated with their immediate dwelling place or locality. The provincial government of Bukidnon recognizes seven distinct tribes, namely, Bukidnon, Higaonon, Manobo, Matigsalug, Talaandig, Tigwahanon, and Umayamnon.
