Abstract: Indigenous people, often portrayed as uneducated and uncivilized, necessitate an exploration of their current circumstances, particularly in the realm of technology and livelihood education. This phenomenological qualitative study was conducted to examine the experiences of ten (10) IP students who are pursuing Technology and Livelihood Education program from Davao del Norte State College. In-depth Interviews (IDI) was the method utilized to gather data with the identified informants. Audio recordings were transcribed and translated, and the transcriptions were analyzed for this study. As a result, fourteen (14) major themes emerged from the analysis of the data gathered, the identified themes were: Integrating Cultural Pride and Identity, Showing Resilience amid Academic Struggles, Experiencing Inclusive and Supportive School Environment, Engaging in Practical and Relevant Learning, Balancing Multiple Roles and Responsibilities, Family Influence and Expectations, Personal Aspirations and Career Goals, Cultural Pride and Community Impact, Interest and Enjoyment in the TLE Program, Support Systems from Friends and Teachers, Development of Inclusion in Culture and Diversity , Promotion of Fair Treatment, Inclusion of Culture Appreciation in the Curriculum , Cultivation of Growth Mindset and Support System. Key findings from the study suggest that most IP students in the TLE program at Davao del Norte State College struggle in their studies due to a lack of background knowledge in the subject. Hence, in order to cope with the course’s demands, particularly its focus on hands-on activities and skill development, the students have adopted various strategies to better understand the lessons. Despite these challenges, they remain resilient and optimistic. They have the support of their families and community, as well as the school, which promotes an inclusive and supportive environment. This serves as a source of motivation, providing them with hope and a beacon of success.
