The Lumad are the un-Islamized and un-Christianized Austronesian peoples of Mindanao.
They include groups like the Erumanen ne Menuvu', Matidsalug Manobo, Agusanon Manobo, Dulangan Manobo, Dabaw Manobo, Ata Manobo, B'laan, Kaulo, Banwaon, Bukidnon, Teduray, Lambangian, Higaunon, Dibabawon, Mangguwangan, Mansaka, Mandaya, K'lagan, Subanen, Tasaday, Tboli, Mamanuwa, Tagakaolo, Talaandig, Tagabawa, Ubu', Tinenanen, Kuwemanen, K'lata and Diyangan.
Considered as "vulnerable groups", they live in hinterlands, forests, lowlands and coastal areas.

The term lumad excludes the Butuanons and Surigaonons, even though these two groups are also native to Mindanao.
This is due to their Visayan ethnicity and lack of close affinity with the Lumad.
The Moros like the Maranao, Tausug, Sama-Bajau, Yakan, etc.
are also excluded, despite being also native to Mindanao and despite some groups being closely related ethnolinguistically to the Lumad.
This is because unlike the Lumad, the Moros converted to Islam during the 14th to 15th centuries.
This can be confusing, since the word lumad literally means "native" in the Visayan languages.
