Summary "Kankanay Ceremonies" by C. R. Moss is a comprehensive ethnographic study written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the rich cultural practices of the Kankanay people, an indigenous group in the Philippines, detailing their ceremonies, beliefs, and customs. The focus is primarily on their ceremonial system and various particular ceremonies that play a vital role in their social and spiritual lives. The opening of the book provides an introduction to the Kankanay territory, highlighting their similarities and distinctions from neighboring groups like the Nabaloi. It describes the Kankanay's personal traits, industrial life, and customary laws. Moreover, it sets the groundwork for the exploration of their ceremonial system by indicating a comparative analysis with the Nabaloi, hinting at the intricacies of their religious beliefs including spirits, deities, and the various rituals associated with sickness and social events. Overall, the beginning establishes a foundation for understanding the Kankanay culture through their ceremonial practices and societal structures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
