They are tribes who live in the mountains in the province of Ifugao, Philippines. Their village is well-known of the 'Ifugao Rice Terraces,' which is considered as the World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The dialects used by them are: 'Amganad,' 'Kiangan,' and 'Mayoyao.' In addition, they are also known for their chanting song called 'Hudhhud.' It is usually sung during the funerals by the Ifugao women.

I agree. This is how they lived before and continue to live because of these rice paddies.

@Shavkat That's amazing! Reminds me of our terrace farming that they develop here in hilly regions of India to grow tea.

They were head hunters before you forced them to stop... What happened? They looked at you and decided you'd make a very scary looking shrunken head?

I think it is not a watercolor type. They were painted on the wall.
