The Filipino tribe that hangs its dead from cliffs


Le Mardi 10 Avril modifié le Mardi 30 Novembre



While the Igorots' ancient funeral rite is unique in the Philippines, hanging coffins off crags has historically been practised in pockets of China and Indonesia. Elsewhere, this cliff-face custom ceased long ago, but in Sagada, the tradition lives on. According to Bangyay, the last cliff burial took place in 2010.
