    ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS OF THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY VOLUME XXIII NEW YORK PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES 1925 Editor CLARK WISSLER FOREWORD Louis ROBERT SULLIVAN Since this volume is largely the work of the late Louis Robert Sulli- van, a biographical sketch of this able anthropologist, will seem a fitting foreword. Louis Robert Sullivan was born at Houlton, Maine, May 21, 1892. He was educated in the public schools of Houlton and was graduated from Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, in 1914. During the following academic year he taught in a high school and on November 24, 1915, he married Bessie Pearl Pathers of Lewiston, Maine. He entered Brown University as a graduate student and was assistant in zoology under Professor H. E. Walters, and in 1916 received the degree of master of arts. From Brown University Mr. Sullivan came to the American Mu- seum of Natural History, as assistant in physical anthropology, and during the first years of his connection with the Museum he laid the foundations for his future work in human biology, by training in general anatomy with Doctor William K. Gregory and Professor George S. Huntington and in general anthropology with Professor Franz Boas. From the very beginning, he showed an aptitude for research and he had not been long at the Museum ere he had published several important papers. These activities were interrupted by our entrance into the World War. Mr. Sullivan was appointed a First Lieutenant in the Section of Anthropology, Surgeon-General's Office in 1918, and while on duty at headquarters asisted in the compilation of the reports on Defects found in Drafted Men and Army Anthropology.

  • The Manolay Cult: the Genesis and Dissolution of Millenarian Sentiments Among the Isneg of Northern Luzon
    THE MANOLAY CULT: THE GENESIS AND DISSOLUTION OF MILLENARIAN SENTIMENTS AMONG THE ISNEG OF NORTHERN LUZON }OliN E. SMART FoR TWO YEARS, APPROXL\1ATELY 1937-1939, A MAJORITY OF THE FAMILIES in the isolated Isneg settlement of Kabuwan neglected their mountain rice fields. 1 During this period, community feasts, prompted by the hope that the people from Unto (a place somewhere over the sky) would attend, were held nearly every night." The conviction reigned that, should Enoy, Eyu, Patungagan and any other Untc} people choose to come, the dead ancestors would manolay (return to life) and believers would acquire gamog (the power to conceive of and simultaneously to experience the fulfilment of a material wish, in this case, an un- ending supply of food and drink) and obtain the services of Kindingan (the invincible spirit of the old people of Kabuwan). ·when possessed, Kindingan enabled a single Kabuwan man to fight and kill all the people in an enemy hamlet. Finally, after the expected rendezcous \vith the Unto people, everyone would lead an everlasting, labour-free exist- ence, devoted to continuous say am (a celebration characterized by danc- ing, drinking and the killing of, at least, one pig and one dog for food). Two years later, when the Manolay cult subsided, the Kabuwan rice granaries were empty; most of the settlement's pigs, dogs, and chickens had been butchered; a large portion of the community's ac- cumulated wealth of valuable beads, Chinese pottery, and Ilocano blankets had been exchanged for rice, and some men were forced to labour in the neighboring settlements for their family's daily ration.

  • 2278-6236 the Migrants of Kalinga
    International Journal of Advanced Research in ISSN: 2278-6236 Management and Social Sciences Impact Factor: 6.284 THE MIGRANTS OF KALINGA: FOCUS ON THEIR LIFE AND EXPERIENCES Janette P. Calimag, Kalinga-Apayao State College, Bulanao Tabuk City, Kalinga Abstract: This study is a descriptive-historical research on the life and experiences of migrants in Kalinga. This was conducted to understand the life migrants and the challenges they faced as they transferred residence. The participants of the study are the migrants of Kalinga aged 55 and above. Interview was the primary method used in gathering data for the study. An interview guide was used as a basis for questioning while note-taking was done by the researcher to document the information supplied by the participants. All conversations were also recorded through a tape recorder. Secondary resources such as researches, books and articles were used to further explain the results of the study. Results of the study revealed that the life of migrants is not just as easy, they faced a lot of challenges after migrating. They experienced financial difficulties, problems in relation to bodong, fear of Kalingas due to political conflicts, land grabbing, health problems, tribal wars, and differences in beliefs and religion. In view of the aforementioned findings and conclusions, the following topics are hereby recommended that this research will be a basis of the government of Kalinga as they create programs that involve migrants and as they review the implementation of bodong in their locale. Keywords: Migrants, focus, life, experiences, Kalinga INTRODUCTION One of the most difficult decisions a person can make is to leave the place where he used to live and transfer to a new community with more opportunities than the former.

Aside from being a tourism site it is the primary water source for agricultural lands along the stretch of the river. It also serves as a fishing ground to the residents because of its potential as habitat to native, endemic, migratory and indigenous fish and other aquatic organisms. Being a pathway to native, endemic and migratory species in the region, protecting the Amburayan River ecosystem and conserving its ecological integrity enhances its productivity. The assessment of fishing gears and practices used including the fish species caught by these gears is important in the management of the resources. This study on fishing gears and practices was done in three municipalities in Benguet namely; Atok, Kapangan and Kibungan. Fishing gears and practices were determined through interview with the locals in focus group discussions and direct observation during fishing. This study revealed that there are different fishing gears and practices being employed along the Amburayan River. Most of which are traditional knowledge-based and used depending on the season and location of fishing area.
