Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article is a comparative study and presentation of the
texts of several origin myths among five cultural groups (Ifugao, Tagbanua, Igorot, Manobo,
and Bontoc) of the Mountain Province in Luzon. Similarities in religious beliefs,
cosmology, and mythological themes are noted, including description of hero figures,
deities, and their activities. The author contrasts the Kiangan Ifugao and Central Ifugao
and proposes that the similarities between the two are due to mixing of ideas of ancient
cultures while the differences are due to 'survivals.' Thus, the 'distinctly composite
Ifugao group' of today is the result of coalescence of divergent ancient
cultures.
