view of Bontoc warriors fencing
Scope and Contents note
This series consists of photographs related to the Indigenous group referred to by Dean Worcester as “Bontoc Igorots,” but who are more accurately called the Bontoc people. “Igorot” is an exonym used to refer to the various ethnic groups who inhabit the mountains of northern Luzon, and is considered slightly pejorative. “Ifugao” is the endonym to refer to these groups as a whole. The photographs in this series were obtained in Bontoc. For further information on this series consult Index to Philippine photographs (Ayer 290 .A983 1905).
