MATERIALS

- A windowless pyramidal structure resting on four posts.

- Ifugao has complex technology that renders it a tensile strength capable of withstanding devastating natural calamities.

- Constructed out of carefully selected indigenous timbers that are sturdily mortised, pegged, and latched to hold the house together.

Mythical Origin

In the morning, Cabbigat and Bugan woke up and realized they were in a strange place. House building was, thus, initiated by the gods. The knowledge and skill was passed on to the human beings and later enhanced the technology to suit their needs and preferences.

Myth reveals to us that the first house in Ifugao originated from the Skyworld.

One day, Skyworld god Wigan looked down to the Earthworld and saw the lush but uninhabited land of Kay-ang (now Kiangan). “What a pity such fertile land is desolate,” he said to himself. Hence , he thought out a plan

to populate the place. That night he made a house and filled it with rice. Then , he made several cages, put in a couple of chicken, and hung it at the sides of the houses' floor beams. He tied pigs too on the posts.

Having ensured that everything is set , he carried his sleeping children , Cabbigat and Bugan , and brought them inside the house. After whispering farewell to his children , he carefully brought down the house to the riverside side in Kay-ang.
