520			_aConsidered to be not represented in the ethnographic literature in Mindanao, the Isama of Samal Islad has long been existing as an indigenous group in the area. This is an ethnographic study exploring the culture of the Isama. This provides an in-depth examination of the patterns of growth and changes that happened in the group over time and how external influences caused such growth and changes,. Particularly the influences brought by the Visayan people (Bisaya) who are considered to be the dominant group in the island. Through contact and constant interaction with them, the Isama learned and adopted the ways of the Bisaya through the process of acculturation, they adopted the norms, values and lifeways of the dominant Visayan culture. This altered their indigenous way of living. With the advent of modern ways, the Isama were assimilated in the mainstream society.
