collective group of indigenous people known as the Igorot people. The Kankanaey tribes live in
Mountain Province, northern Benguet.

The kankanaey tribes that are also known as igorot people are one of the hardworking tribes in the field
of agriculture. Like most ethnic groups, the Kankanaey also built sloping terraces which is (Rice
terracess) binuo nila yun to maximize farm space in the rugged terrain of the Cordillera Administrative
Region that benefit and became sufficient sources of staple foods like camote, rice, patatas, and other
root crops such as tugi and gabi.

Also ang kankanaey ay into mining particularly gold, since the kankanaey territory yields lots of minerals.

Brief Culture and Tradition

Marriage in the Kankanaey

- Pagdating sa marriage sa kanilang tribe, meron silang tinatawag na parental marriage. Na pawang
kanilang mga magulang ang mag dedesisyon kung sino ang gusto nilang mapangasawa ng anak nila.
Madalas na nangyayar dito is, hindi pa kilala nung anak nila yung tao nayun, pero yun yung gusto ng mga
magulang nila na sila ang magpakasal.

-Pero sa kasalukuyang generation namn, hindi na ito itinuloy pa dahil sa mga unfavorable experiences.

During wedding ceremony namn nag kakaroon sila ng malaking celebration may mga ritual dance,
before, during and after the ceremony. Important part din nang kanilang wedding cerermony yunug
butchering of animals.

Hunting is also practiced by the people with the use of spears and dogs, while fishing is done with the
use of bamboo traps.

Kankanaey as best weavers in Benguet.

- So ang mga kankanaey people ay kilala din sa hunting maliban sa agriculuture and mining, sap pag hunt
katulad nalamang ng isda, na ang tumatrabaho dito ay mga lalaki lang gamit nila sa pankgabuhayan nila
ang mga alaga nilang aso pang huli at ang bamboo traps na isa ding panghuli nang kanilang makakain.

Next is the best weavers in the Benguet is the women. Example ng mga ginagawa nila, blanket, basktet,
shirts, and etc. Halos lahat ng mga makikita natin nakagamitan ay ang mga gawa ng mga kababaihan sa
kankanaey tribe.
The Kankanaey differ in the way they dress. They have two types of dress

 soft-speaking Kankanaey women's dress


 hard-speaking kankanaey women’s dress

The soft-speaking Kankanaey women's dress with a color combination of black, white and red. The
design of the upper attire is a criss-crossed style of black, white and red colors. The skirt or tapis is a
combination of stripes of black, white and red.

The hard-speaking Kankanaey women's dress is composed of mainly red and black with a little white
styles, as for the skirt or tapis which is mostly called bakget and gateng[clarification needed].

Pinag kaibahan lang dito ay mas nangibabaw ang pula at itim na kulay ng kanilang damit kesa sa kulay
puti kumpara sas soft speaking kankanaey women’s dress.

The men wore a G-string as it is called but it is known as wanes to the Kankanaeys of Besao and Sagada.
The design of the wanes may vary according to social status or municipality.
