PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES:

KANKANAY
       The Kankanay (Northern Kankanai, Lepanto Igorot, Katangnan, Sagada Igorot,
Kataugnan) are found on the western flank of the Cordillera in the Mountain Province
just east of Ilocos Sur. They are in the municipalities of Tadian, Besao, Sabangan, and
Sagada. Cervantes in Ilocos Sur also has a fairly large Lepanto Kankanai concentration.
The population is estimated at some 59,987 (NSO 1990) in the area about Lepanto and
Tiagan to the headwater streams of the Chico and Abra rivers where they practice wet
terracing. This type of cultivation, however, was preceded by dry cultivation of tubers, a
practice widespread among the peoples of the Cordilleras.

       The northern Kankanay are more related in terms of culture to the Bontoc peoples
to the north and northeast on the Chico River system. The language (Kataugnan),
however, has been classified with the Kankanaey to the south of them in the
Amburayan area. There are differences in dialect from district to district.

       They have large nucleated communities associated with the terraces especially
about the Kayan, Bauko, Besao area. The social organization parallels that of the
Bontoc. The ward system of structuring groups is practiced with the institution of
the dapay, which is similar to the Bontoc ato. Male meeting houses cum dormitories are
separate from those of women.
       Mining for gold and copper is extensive in Suyoc and Mankayan, they worked
extensively during historical times. Rice, sweet potatoes, and taro are the principal
crops. The terracing is similar to those of the Bontoc.
