		Early Ivatan culture was essentially documented by Spanish missionaries and state officials whose goal was to obliterate the indigenous culture, especially the indigenous belief system and socio-political structure.
		September 18 was the day the Ivatans regained their freedom, a date akin to June 12, that celebrates the declaration of Philippine Independence on June 12, 1898.
		Ivatan culture has developed into a stronger strain and a more vibrant and dynamic synthesis, even as the indigenous culture permeates and pervades their lives.

		The southern half of the Ivatan homeland, the islands of the Batanes, was reinforced and fortified by Spanish refugees from Formosa before being formally joined in the 18th century with the Spanish government in Manila.

	Batanes History, Ivatan History of Batanes, Batanes island history
		The Ivatan was a farmer and a fisherman, who fed largely on yam and camote, some fish, and a variety of fruits from his farm tended mostly by women while he himself and his sons went out fishing.
		On March 14, 1728, the king of Spain issued the Royal Cedula for the transfer of the Ivatans from Batanes to Calayan in recognition of the reports that the Ivatans were suffering from extreme destitution material and spiritual.
		The Ivatans, he reported, built in small houses built close to one another "like the Chinese houses at the Parian." They were built very low because of earthquakes and typhoons, and the entrances were so low it was necessary to crawl.

	Ivatan
		There is solid evidence for believing that present Ivatans are the Christianized surviving group of an ancient people who once occupied all of the islands Luzon and Taiwan, and who are probably reperesented in the purest from today by the natives of Botel Tobago.
		A problem the Ivatan face is their geographic isolation from the rest of the country, a problem made more difficult by rough seas during most of the year.
		However, the early Ivatans and those who have not become Christians have held on to a form of ancestor worship, which venerates the dead as anito, responsible for the maladies and misfortunes of men as well as their successes and good fortune.

		Ivatans are hard-core beer fanatics because of its cold weather and lack of recreational activities.

		The story of Simina-Vohang is proof, moreover, of the Ivatan origin of at least one Yami settlement.
		Thus it is safe to conclude that the change in oral heritage, whether the evolution, degeneration or even disappearance of certain oral forms, in the Bashiic culture area is partially influenced by the changes of social system and by the changes that may occur in subsistence activities.
		For instance, the last eruption of Tokon Iraya, the volcano of Ivatan, took place approximately 1500 years ago, and it must have completely destroyed the vegetation of the northern part of the island.
