The Ifugao (Ifugaw) are a group of wet-rice agriculturalists occupying the mountainous area of northern Luzon, in the Philippines. Scholars estimate that the Ifugao probably lived in the area since the fifteenth century. The Ifugao language is classified as Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian). The Ifugao live in small hamlets of 5 to 10 houses scattered among their rice terraces. They have no chiefs and councils. Bilateral kinship obligations provide most of the political control. Ifugao religion is based on an elaborate cosmology with more than a thousand deities of various classes.
