Best Answer

Ifugao is the people who live in the province of Ifugao.

The People of Ifugao are not called "IGOROTS" but are called IFUGAOS. Ifugaos are different from any other tribe in the cordilleras ranging from culture, tradition, language, and idealism. There have been no Ifugao beggar recorded in history and shall never have no beggars. Some neighboring tribes of the Ifugaos tries to annex or connects themselves with Ifugao so as to share fame the ifugao people are experiencing. Ifugaos also prefer to use the English language rather than the Filipino language because they are more sophisticated to English.

Rice Culture

Ifugao culture revolves around the rice, which is considered a prestige crop. There is an elaborate and complex array of rice culture feasts inextricably linked with taboos and intricate agricultural rites, from rice cultivation to rice consumption. Harvest season calls for grandiose Thanksgiving feasts, while the concluding harvest rites "tungo" or "tungul" the day of rest entail a strict taboo of any agricultural work. Partaking of the rice wine bayah, rice cakes, and moma mixture of several herbs, powdered snail shell and betel nut/ arecoline: and acts as a Chewing Gum to the ifugaos is an indelible practice during the festivities and ritual activities.
