 CSSP Thesis/Dissertation Abstracts -- Gaston P. Kibiten (Ph.D. Anthropology)
This study examines the politics involved in the recent organizing and performance of clan reunions, a novel ritual practice among the Kankanaeys of the Cordilleras in Northern Luzon, Philippines.
The resulting analysis demonstrates how present-day Kankanaeys came up with these clan reunions as ritual strategies by which to mediate and remedy the disruptive impact of current socio-cultural and economic structures and processes on their traditional kinship networks, ideologies, values, and practices.
In the main these clan reunions act as integrative practices, being the primary ritual device for reconstituting geographically dispersed and socio-economically diversified kin groups, the forging and rekindling of ties, and the mutual tapping and building of resources among these.

Among the Kankanaey of the Cordillera, the tongtong is a dialogue held to resolve disputes, with the guilty party ending up paying a penalty.
Seven cases have been resolved using this system in the Benguet town of Bakun since 1998, when the Kankanaey received their ancestral domain claim certificate.
The Tagakaolo in Sarangani province call their indigenous justice system kasfala, which usually requires a peace offering from the offender.

The Kankanaey are very similar to the Ibaloi, they were the original inhabitants of Benguet, are farmers and gardeners, were the most influenced by Spanish and American colonialism and lowland Filipino culture and has taken in new technologies to make production more efficient.
But one of the main differences among these two tribes is that the Kankanaey were the first to explore the minerals in their region, particularly gold.
The same goes for the Kankanaey, but the sad thing with them is that this famous practice is declining due to the intermarriages with the lowland people and other tribes.

In the municipality of Besao in northern Philippines, the Kankanaey people have adapted to severe pressures imposed by environmental degradation and development by adapting traditional rules governing water management to changed circumstances.
Because the Kankanaey have traditional mechanisms for managing relations with other indigenous communities and with their non-indigenous neighbors, mutual respect for the rules extends beyond single communities.
And they must learn the lesson that makes common sense to the Kankanaey: to sacrifice some of their advantages so that their indigenous neighbors, through the exercise of self-government, can achieve equal benefit.

 The Official Site of the Provincial Capitol of Benguet - Kabayan
There were intermarriages between Ibalois and kankanaeys and their occupation of a particular area in the town resulted in the establishment of a Kankanaey-dominated village in southwestern Kabayan.

This was the basic reason why the protection of the forests and watersheds became integral part to the culture of the Ibaloi, Kalanguya and Kankanaey.

 Benguet’s Ibaloi, Kankanaey sleep with the dead - April 08, 2007   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This belief, according to sociologist Isikias Picpican, explains why indigenous communities of Benguet, like the Ibaloi and Kankanaey, still bury their dead under their houses, in their backyards or somewhere else on their properties.
To these tribes, the dead must be buried close to home and interred in an elaborate manner to give them a peaceful resting place, said Picpican, who studies Igorot culture.
Board Member Sario Copas, a Kankanaey from Buguias town and descendant of the famous mummy Apo Anno, said prayers for good tidings would go unanswered if the dead were buried elsewhere, such as in a cemetery.

In a period when environmental crusades were not yet popular, Coromina spoke to his Ibaloi and Kankanaey neighbors about "building a forest to keep the whole hill from collapsing," Amando says.

 Sun.Star Baguio - Lumads oppose inclusion in list of protected areas
Speaking on behalf of the Kankanaey tribes, Talastas said the Protected Areas and Wildlife Division (PAWD) of the DENR-CAR proposed the inclusion of Mt. Calawitan and six other sites in the region as one of the components of the protected areas under the National Integrated and Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act.
But Talastas argued that prior to the enactment of the NIPAS Act in 1992, Mt. Calawitan is the ancestral domain of the indigenous Kankanaey tribes, nurtured and protected by their ancestors for long and by these tribal folks up to the present.
Talastas pointed out that if Mt. Calawitan and the other sites will be declared as protected areas, access of indigenous peoples to the area would be subjected to limitation, if not total prohibition, from utilizing their resources within their domain.
