The Ifugao indigenous cultural community live in the Central Cordillera in Northern Luzon. They call themselves Ifugao which literally means “inhabitants of the known earth”: a self-ascription intended to distinguish them from the spirits and deities that inhabit the different worlds in the Ifugao cosmology. They are known for the Banaue Rice Terraces, an agricultural and engineering feat that has been hailed as the “eighth wonder of the world.”
