Book Overview

Kankanay Ceremonies (1920) is a book written by Claude Russell Moss that provides a detailed account of the religious and cultural practices of the Kankanay people, an indigenous group living in the northern region of the Philippines. The book is divided into three main parts, the first of which introduces the Kankanay people and their way of life. The second part delves into the various ceremonies and rituals that the Kankanay perform, including those related to birth, death, marriage, and farming.
