Kalanay - A Tale of the Mountains (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781763845657)

A journey through the history of the Igorot peoples of the mountainous region of Cordillerra in the Philippines. Expertly structured and nuanced, it travels through vast times, vast areas, and showcases the relevant culture for each. Commencing in the present, and moving back and often forward again, it contrasts the relationships between many different cultures, and their spirit worlds and their survival. Including colonisation by both the Spanish and the English, and different tribes. A highlight is the spirit world, the connection to nature, and village life. It is a gift to peoples everywhere.
