Ati kids catching fish. Fishing is the Atis' main source of living. According to them, their seas were filled with plenty of fishes before tourists started flocking to their island.

An Ati couple moving into their new house in the tribe's new settlement site. This small piece of land where 50 Ati families built their houses on (and had to make do with) is still under dispute. The developer of a hotel being constructed nearby is laying claim to it and has sought for a temporary restraining order from a local court to stop the Atis from occupying this land.
