AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article describes in detail the 'munhimung' burials of the Ifugao in the Central Ifugao and Kiangan areas of northern Luzon. This series of ceremonies was held for beheaded bodies and bodies of persons killed by hereditary enemies (suppressed by the American government after ca. 1910), resulting from inter-clan and inter-community feuds. Some descriptive data are given on kinship and community organization, material culture associated with funeral activities, and the influence of the American government on inter-clan activities. Bibliographic references are contained in the footnotes. Captions for the photographs appear on pp. 251-252.
