N2  - The Ifugao of the Cordillera Central in Northern Philippines are famous for their magnificent rice terraces.  Recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, this matchless example of indigenous engineering attests to the central importance of rice culture in Ifugao society.  Ifugao : People of the earth foucuses on the elaborate complex of socio-cultural practices that has evolved around the cultivation of rice.  It documents the rituals that attend the various phases of the agricultural and life cycles, and explains the various forces that tend to erode traditional practices and institutions.  Despite the radical transformations that have taken place in Ifugao society, many traditions have persisted to modern times - a testament to the resilience of one of the most remarkable indigenous groups of the Philippines
