The Kayapa Kallahan of Philippines

The Kayapa Kallahan of Philippines, numbering approximately 30,500 people, are No Longer Unreached. They are a Cordillera people of the Philippines whose ethnogenesis centers on Tinoc in Ifugao Province, long mistaken for an Ifugao subgroup before being recognized as distinct, deriving their name Kalanguya from a phrase meaning what in the world is this. They mostly adhere to Animism and Kalanguya is their primary language.
