Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The wood carvings decorating the exterior of this stilt house include a warrior beheading an enemy on the front door. The ladder is kept off the ground when not in use in order to keep rats from getting to the rice stored in the attic.
For two thousand years [or maybe just 400 years as posited by analyses from the Ifugao Archaeological Project], the Ifugao ethnic group has created rice terraces on the steep slopes of the Cordillera Central mountain range in the north-central part of the northern island of Luzon. (Manila is in southern Luzon.) Communal effort is required to build and maintain the stone or earthwork walls that form terraced pond fields. They are fed by intricate irrigation systems which harness water from the forests of the mountain tops. Individual terraces are privately owned, however, in accordance with tribal law and ancestral rights. Pest control is natural using various herbs in conjunction with religious rituals. The rice is used to feed the community, not to sell. The Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 (the first-ever entry in the cultural landscape category established in 1992).
