These highland peoples inhabit all the six provinces of the [[Cordillera Administrative Region]]: [[Abra (province)|Abra]], [[Apayao]], [[Benguet]], [[Kalinga (province)|Kalinga]], [[Ifugao]], and [[Mountain Province]], as well as the adjacent provinces. ==Etymology== The word "Igorot" is an [[exonym]], derived from the Austronesian term for "mountain people" (formed from the prefix ''i-'', "dweller of" and ''golot'', "mountain range"). During the [[Spanish Colonial Era (Philippines)|Spanish colonial era]], the term was variously recorded as ''Igolot'', ''Ygolot'', and ''Igorrote'', compliant to [[Spanish language in the Philippines|Spanish orthography]].<ref name="jenks">{{cite book|author=Albert Ernest Jenks|title =The Bontoc Igorot|publisher =Kessinger Publishing|series =|year =2004|page=12|isbn =978-1-4191-5449-2|url =https://books.google.com/books?id=8s9aiYG0RKMC&lpg=PA12&ots=SpFD29Cyqb&dq=bontoc%20meaning&hl=tl&pg=PA12#v=onepage&q=bontoc%20meaning&f=false}}</ref> The [[endonyms]] '''Ifugao''' or '''Ipugao''' (also meaning "mountain people") are used more frequently within the Igorots themselves, as ''igorot'' is viewed by some as slightly pejorative.<ref name="ember"/> ==Cordillera ethnic groups== The Igorots may be roughly divided into two general subgroups: the larger group lives in the south, central and western areas, and is very adept at [[rice]]-[[Terrace (agriculture)|terrace]] [[farming]]; the smaller group lives in the east and north.

They speak the [[Bontoc language]] and [[Ilocano language|Ilocano]]. They formerly practiced head-hunting and had distinctive body tattoos. The Bontoc describe three types of tattoos: The ''chak-lag′'', the tattooed chest of the head taker; ''pong′-o'', the tattooed arms of men and women; and ''fa′-tĕk'', for all other tattoos of both sexes. Women were tattooed on the arms only. In the past, the Bontoc engaged in none of the usual pastimes or games of chance practiced in other areas of the country, but did perform a circular rhythmic dance acting out certain aspects of the hunt, always accompanied by the gang′-sa or bronze gong. There was no singing or talking during the dance drama, but the women took part, usually outside the circumference. It was a serious but pleasurable event for all concerned, including the children.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bohol.ph/books/bi/bi.htm#d0e8370|title=The Bontoc Igorot|publisher=}}</ref> Present-day Bontocs are a peaceful agricultural people who have, by choice, retained most of their traditional culture despite frequent contacts with other groups. The pre-Christian Bontoc belief system centers on a hierarchy of spirits, the highest being a supreme deity called ''Lumawig''. Lumawig personifies the forces of nature and is the legendary creator, friend, and teacher of the Bontoc. A hereditary class of priests hold various monthly ceremonies for this deity for their crops, the weather, and for healing. The Bontoc also believe in the "anito"—spirits of the dead who must be consulted before anything important is done. Ancestral anitos are invited to family feasts when a death occurs to ensure the well-being of the deceased's soul. This is by offering some small amount of food to show that they are invited and not forgotten. The Bontoc social structure used to be centered around village wards ("ato") containing about 14 to 50 homes. Traditionally, young men and women lived in dormitories and ate meals with their families. This gradually changed with the advent of Christianity. In general, however, it can be said that all Bontocs are very aware of their own way of life and are not overly eager to change. ===[https://igorotage.com/hashtag/ibaloi Ibaloi]=== The Ibaloi (also Ibaloy and Nabaloi) and Kalanguya (also Kallahan and Ikalahan) are one of the [[indigenous peoples]] of the [[Philippines]] who live mostly in the southern part of [[Benguet]], located in the [[Cordillera Administrative Region|Cordillera]] of northern [[Luzon]], and [[Nueva Vizcaya]] in the [[Cagayan Valley]] region. They were traditionally an agrarian society. Many of the Ibaloi and Kalanguya people continue with their agriculture and rice cultivation. Their native language belongs to the [[Malayo-Polynesian]] branch of the [[Austronesian languages]] family and is closely related to the [[Pangasinan language]], primarily spoken in the province of [[Pangasinan]], located southwest of Benguet. [[Baguio City]], the major city of the [[Cordillera Administrative Region|Cordillera]], dubbed the "Summer Capital of the Philippines," is located in southern Benguet. The largest feast of the Ibaloi is the ''Pesshet'', a public feast mainly sponsored by people of prestige and wealth. ''Pesshet'' can last for weeks and involves the killing and sacrifice of dozens of animals. One of the more popular dances of the Ibaloi is the ''Bendiyan'' Dance, participated in by hundreds of male and female dancers. ===[https://igorotage.com/hashtag/ifugao Ifugao]=== [[File:Banaue Philippines Ifugao-Tribesman-01.jpg|thumbnail|left|An Ifugao man from [[Banaue]]]] The Ifugao (also known as Amganad, Ayangan, Kiangan, Gilipanes, Quiangan, Tuwali Ifugao, Mayoyao, Mayoyao, Mayaoyaw) are the people inhabiting [[Ifugao Province]]. The term "Ifugao" is derived from "''ipugo''" which means "earth people", "mortals" or "humans", as distinguished from spirits and deities. It also means "from the hill", as ''pugo'' means hill. The country of the Ifugao in the southeastern part of the Cordillera region is best known for its famous [[Banaue Rice Terraces]], which in modern times have become one of the major tourist attractions of the Philippines. The Ifugaos build their typical houses called fales, which consists of a kitchen, bedroom and a worship room altogether. It is a triangular house elevated with 4 wooden posts. There is a ladder but it is hanged or removed so people or animals cannot enter the fale. Aside from their rice terraces, the Ifugaos, who speak four distinct dialects, are known for their rich oral literary traditions of ''hudhud'' and the ''alim''. The Ifugaos’ highest prestige feasts are the ''hagabi'', for the elite; and the ''uyauy'', a feast for those immediately below the wealthiest. '''Alim and Hudhud Oral traditions of Ifugao''' of [[Ifugao]] people of the [[Cordillera Administrative Region]] in [[Luzon]] island of [[Philippines]]. In 2001, the '''Hudhud Chants''' of the Ifugao was chosen as one of the 11 [[Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity]]. It was then formally inscribed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2008. ===[https://igorotage.com/hashtag/isneg Isneg]=== The Isnag, also Isneg or Apayao, live at the northwesterly end of northern Luzon, in the upper half of the Cordillera province of [[Apayao]]. The term "Isnag" derives from a combination of ''is'' meaning "recede" and ''unag'' meaning "interior." Thus, it means "people who live inland." The municipalities in the Isneg domain include Pudtol, Kabugao, Calanasan and Conner (Peralta 1988:1). Two major river systems, the Abulog and the Apayao, run through Isnag country, which until recent times has been described as a region of "dark tropical forests," and endowed with other natural resources. In one early account, the Isneg were described as of slender and graceful stature, with manners that were kindly, hospitable, and generous, possessed with the spirit of self-reliance and courage, and clearly artistic in their temperament. The Isnag’s ancestors are believed to have been the proto-Austronesians who came from South China thousands of years ago. Later, they came in contact with groups practicing jar burial, from whom they adopted the custom. They later also came into contact with Chinese traders plying the seas south of the Asian mainland. From the Chinese they bought the porcelain pieces and glass beads which now form part of the Isnag’s priceless heirlooms. The Isnag have been known to be a head-taking society since recorded history. As a dry rice farmer, the male head of a household annually clears a fresh section of tropical forest where his wife will plant and harvest their rice. Isneg women also cook the meals, gather wild vegetables and weave bamboo mats and baskets, while the men cut timber, build houses and take extended hunting and fishing trips. Often when a wild pig or deer is killed, its meat is skewered on bamboo and distributed to neighbors and relatives. Nearly all Isneg households also harvest a small grove of coffee trees since the main cash crop of the area is coffee. Isnag people are also known as the Isneg, which is composed of the sub-groups known as the Ymandaya and Imallod. Their places of abode are found in the different municipalities in Apayao as follows: # [[Ymandaya people|Ymandaya (Isnag)]]- [[Calanasan, Apayao|Calanasan (Bayag)]] # [[Imallod people|Imallod (Isnag)]]- [[Kabugao, Apayao|Kabugao]], [[Conner, Apayao|Conner]], [[Pudtol, Apayao|Pudtol]], and some part of [[Luna, Apayao|Luna (Macatel)]] The Isnag speak the [[Isneg language]] and [[Ilocano language|Ilocano]]. Isnags are also found in the Eastern part of the Province of [[Ilocos Norte]] specifically the municipalities of Adams, Carasi, Dumaneg, Solsona and Piddig and Northwestern part of the Province of [[Cagayan]] specifically the municipalities of Sta. Praxedes, Claveria, and Sanchez Mira. === [https://igorotage.com/hashtag/kalinga Kalinga] === The Kalinga, also known as ''Limos'' or ''Limos-Liwan Kalinga'', inhabit the drainage basin of the middle Chico River in [[Kalinga Province]]. The Kalinga are sub-divided into Southern and Northern groups; the latter is considered the most heavily ornamented people of the northern Philippines. The Kalinga practice both wet and dry rice farming. They also developed an institution of peace pacts called ''[[Bodong]]'' which has minimised traditional warfare and headhunting and serves as a mechanism for the initiation, maintenance, renewal and reinforcement of kinship and social ties. They also speak the [[Kalinga language|Kalinga]], [[Ilocano language|Ilocano]], and [[Limos language|Limos]] languages. Kalinga society is very kinship-oriented, and relatives are held responsible for avenging any injury done to a member. Disputes are usually settled by the regional leaders, who listen to all sides and then impose fines on the guilty party. These are not formal council meetings, but carry a good deal of authority. ===[https://igorotage.com/hashtag/kankanaey Kankanaey]=== The Kankanaey domain includes Western Mountain Province, northern Benguet and southeastern Ilocos Sur. Like most Igorot ethnic groups, the Kankanaey built sloping terraces to maximize farm space in the rugged terrain of the Cordilleras. Kankanaey houses are built like the other Igorot houses, which reflect their social status. Two famous institutions of the Kankanaey of Mountain Province are the ''dap-ay'', or the men's dormitory and civic center, and the ''ebgan'', or the girls' dormitory where courtship between young men and women took place. Kankanaey's major dances include ''tayaw'', ''patting'', ''takik'' (a wedding dance), and ''balangbang''. The ''tayaw'' is a community dance that is usually done in weddings it maybe also danced by the Ibaloi but has a different style. ''Pattong'', also a community dance from Mountain Province which every municipality has its own style, while ''Balangbang'' is the dance's modern term. There are also some other dances like the ''sakkuting'', ''pinanyuan'' (another wedding dance) and ''bogi-bogi'' (courtship dance). ===="Hard" and "Soft" Kankanaey==== The name Kankanaey came from the language which they speak. The only difference amongst the Kankanaey are the way they speak such as intonation and word usage. In intonation, there is distinction between those who speak Hard Kankanaey (''Applai'') and Soft Kankanaey. Speakers of Hard Kankanaey are from the towns of [[Sagada]] and Besao in the western Mountain Province as well as their environs. They speak Kankanaey with a hard intonation where they differ in some words from the soft-speaking Kankanaey. Soft-speaking Kankanaey come from Northern and other parts of Benguet, and from the municipalities of Sabangan, Tadian and Bauko in Mountain Province. In words for example an ''Applai'' might say ''otik'' or ''beteg'' (pig) and the soft-speaking Kankanaey use ''busaang'' or ''beteg'' as well. The Kankanaey may also differ in some words like ''egay'' or ''aga'', ''maid'' or ''maga''. They also differ in their ways of life and sometimes in culture. The Kankanaey are also internally identified by the language they speak and the province from whence they came. Kankanaey people from Mountain Province may call the Kankanaey from [[Benguet]] as ''iBenget'' while the Kankanaey of Benguet may call their fellow Kankanaey from Mountain Province ''iBontok''. The Hard and Soft Kankanaey also differ in the way they dress. Women's dress of the Soft dialect generally has a colour combination of black, white and red. The design of the upper attire is a criss-crossed style of black, white and red colors. The skirt or ''tapis'' is a combination of stripes of black, white and red. Hard dialect women dress in mainly red and black with less white, with the skirt or ''tapis'' which is mostly called ''bakget'' and ''gateng''. The men formerly wore a [[g-string]] known as a ''wanes'' for the Kanakaney's of Besao and Sagada. The design of the ''wanes'' may vary according to social status or municipality.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://igorotage.com/p/X2gqjmLxE|title=The Igorot Kankana-ey People|last=|first=|date=|website=Igorotage|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}}</ref> ==Ethnic groups by linguistic classification== [[Image:Ph cordillera.png|thumb|250px|Political map of the [[Cordillera Administrative Region]].]] Below is a list of northern Luzon ethnic groups organized by linguistic classification. *'''[[Northern Luzon languages]]''' **[[Ilokano language|Ilokano]] ([[Ilocos Norte]] and [[Ilocos Sur]]) **Northern Cordilleran ***[[Isnag language|Isneg]] (northern [[Apayao Province]]) ***[[Gaddang language|Gaddang]] ([[Nueva Vizcaya Province]] and [[Isabela Province]]) ***Ibanagic ****[[Ibanag language|Ibanag]] ([[Cagayan Province]] and [[Isabela Province]]) ****[[Itawis language|Itawis]] (southern [[Cagayan Province]]) ****[[Yogad language|Yogad]] ([[Isabela Province]]) **Central Cordilleran ***Kalinga–Itneg ****[[Kalinga languages|Kalinga]] ([[Kalinga Province]]) ****[[Itneg languages|Itneg]] ([[Abra Province]]) ***Nuclear ****[[Ifugao language|Ifugao]] ([[Ifugao Province]]) ****[[Balangao language|Balangao]] (eastern [[Mountain Province]]) ****[[Bontok language|Bontok]] (central [[Mountain Province]]) ****[[Kankanaey language|Kankanaey]] (western [[Mountain Province]], northern [[Benguet Province]]) **Southern Cordilleran ***[[Ibaloi language|Ibaloi]] (southern [[Benguet Province]]) ***Kalanguya/[[Kallahan language|Kallahan]] (eastern [[Benguet Province]], [[Ifugao Province]], northwestern [[Nueva Vizcaya Province]])<ref>{{cite web|url=https://intercontinentalcry.org/indigenous-peoples/kalanguya/|title=Kalanguya Archives - Intercontinental Cry|publisher=}}</ref> ****Kalanguya Keley-i <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ethnologue.com/language/ify|title=Kallahan, Keley-i|publisher=}}</ref> ****Kalanguya Kayapa <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ethnologue.com/language/kak|title=Kalanguya|publisher=}}</ref> ****Kalanguya Tinoc <ref>{{cite web|url=https://joshuaproject.net/people_groups/19181/RP|title=Kalanguya, Tinoc in Philippines|first=Joshua|last=Project|publisher=}}</ref> ***[[Karao language|Karao]] (Karao, Bokod, Benguet) ***[[Ilongot language|Ilongot]] (eastern [[Nueva Vizcaya Province]], western [[Quirino Province]]) ***[[Pangasinan language|Pangasinan]] ([[Pangasinan Province]]) ==History== {{main article|Igorot Revolt}} The gold found in the land of the Igorot were a draw for the Spanish.<ref name="West2010">{{cite book|author=Barbara A.
