EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of an Igorote girl from the Philippines, specifically from the city of Baguio in the Mountain Province of the Cordillera region on the island of Luzon. The Igorote people, also known as the Igorotes or Igorotes of the Cordillera, are an indigenous ethnic group who have inhabited the area for thousands of years. The smaller sub-groups of the Igorote lived in the eastern and northern parts of the island and were once known for their practice of headhunting. The young girl in the image is adorned with traditional beads and a necklace, adding to her ethnic beauty. Her striped shirt, a common attire for the Igorote people, contrasts against the lush green mountainous backdrop of her homeland. The city of Baguio, nestled in the mountains, was established as a hill station during the American colonial period and has since become a popular tourist destination. The Igorote people have a rich and complex history, with a strong connection to their land and traditions. Their culture is deeply rooted in animism, with beliefs centered around the natural world and ancestor worship. The Igorote also have a strong tradition of art, with intricately designed textiles and pottery being highly prized. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and traditions of the Igorote people. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the unique stories that each community brings to the world.
