The Ifugao are an indigenous people of north Luzon in the Philippines, numbering approximately 70, 000. In addition to practising shifting cultivation on highland slopes, they build elaborate terraced rice fields. Their language belongs to the Austronesian family. The Ifugao live in scattered hamlets and traditionally recognise a class of nobles, kadangya, who are obliged to provide expensive feasts on particular social occasions. Although indigenous beliefs remain, many
Ifugao have adopted Christianity.
