poha (ifugao) vs cicuska (hungarian)

info and propawganda under the cut!

poha - no IPA provided

It’s very cute! My parents were peace corps volunteers in the Philippines and, being very creative in pet names, called their cat “Poha”! Sadly, poor Poha was eaten by local children, so she deserves to be memorialized here lol

cicuska /t͡sit͡suʃkɒ/

It's the diminutive for cica (cat) and it sounds like babuska which makes it great. Also i love saying it. Honorable mentions to macska and macseszka which are also hungarian words for cat, i love this language

The big questions archaeologists want to answer also shape the value of their finds. They want to fill in the missing pieces of human history, and sometimes the newer pieces help complete the puzzle. Protecting and studying our entire past, not just the oldest parts, helps us get a full picture of how humans have lived and changed through time. So, in archaeology, it’s not just about discovering the oldest artifacts; it’s about uncovering and understanding the fullness of human history.

As an example, research in Ifugao confronts the prevailing notion that the antiquity of a site is its most defining feature. Previous studies have proposed that the terraces were to be at least 2,000 years old. However, Acabado and Martin’s studies suggest a more recent origin, around 1600 CE, coinciding with Spanish colonization. This new date does not remove the terraces’ significance but rather refocuses their historical narrative.

The terraces are not relics of the past; they are a testament to the Ifugao’s resilience and ingenuity. The revised dating indicates the Ifugao’s remarkable response to colonial incursion, a physical manifestation of cultural identity and resistance. Understanding these terraces as a relatively recent innovation underscores their role in Ifugao society’s adaptive strategies to external pressures.

This perspective challenges deep-seated assumptions about the value of ancientness in archaeological sites. It emphasizes the historical events that shaped the terraces and the community that created and maintained them. In doing so, it connects the past to the present, ensuring the terraces’ continued relevance to the Ifugao people’s living culture and their ongoing story of resistance, adaptation, and survival.

… Thus, the concept of prehistory, which implies a disconnection from the present, undermines Indigenous and local histories. Current research in Ifugao demonstrates a continuous historical thread that is woven into the fabric of Ifugao society. This continuity is manifested in the enduring rice cultivation practices and rituals that have been passed down through generations.

Bulul: Guardian of the Harvest

The bulul, or "Ifugao rice God", is curved ancestor figures that serve as a rice diety and guardian of the rice crop. These wooden rice guardians, often carved from narra or ipil wood, are more than just works of art; they are sacred objects entrusted with the power to good harvests and protect their rice fields.

These sculptures offer insights to the Ifugao people's artistry and craftsmanship, spritual significances, and cultural legacy. In this time, the Bulul has gained recognition as an iconic symbol of Philippine heritage. Some bulul version are now made for tourist visiting the province of Ifugao.

Archaeology of Pericolonialism

Above are the citations toward the topic of Pericolonialism in Ifugao, Philippines, caused by the Spanish Conquest. Specifically, the evidence of colonialism in Ifugao came from the archeology of wet-rice, ceramics, and buffalos. Evidence of the transition from taro to rice being used as the area’s main source of carbs came to show a lot in how the population was trying to handle or fight against the colonists and its effects. Same goes with the evidence found on the increase of exotic goods, as well as the buffalo and pig remain to support more feastings among the Ifugao. The archeology of Ifugao comes to show that while the Spanish Conquest failed during earlier attempts to colonize and bring Philippines under its umbrella, it did not fail to change the economic and political standards of surrounding towns or tribes. The effect of colonialism comes before the event of official conquering of the country.

 Magangdang umaga po!

 卒論に向けての研究の第一歩として、6/11にイフガオ州ラガウェで行われ��、Gotad Adというお祭りを見に行きました！

　会場であるラガウェは、私が研究するDinuy-aという伝統舞踊の発祥の地であり、イフガオ州の中心部に当たるバナウェからジープでさらに1時間ほど南下します。

　メイン会場のDon Bosco高校の体育館では、６月１日から１８日まで、踊りの他にも芸術作品の展示やバイクレースなど様々な催しが行われており、その周辺には出店や屋外展示などがたくさん並んでいてとても活気がありました！

　伝統舞踊のパフォーマンスの様子。

　この踊りはラガウェで始まりイフガオ州に広まったため、同じ踊りでも州内の地域によって表現方法が微妙に違っているそうです。私の地元・徳島には阿波踊りがあるので、同じ阿波踊りでも連によって踊り方や構成が違うのと似ているなあ���思いました^^

　今回の催しはコンペティション形式で、それぞれのグループは地域を代表しており、画面中央右に写っている審査員が最も優れた演技を決定するそう。アリーナを囲むように椅子に座っているのは出番に向けて待機している他の地域の踊り子です。

　最も印象に残ったのは、鶏を使った踊り、、

　手を話すと鶏が飛んで行ったり、生き物を使った踊りが私には衝撃的でした...!

　今回は突然決まった訪問だったので長く滞在することができず、世界遺産の棚田すら見ないで帰ってきてしまいました💦

　私を連れてきてくれたガイドさんのお友達をつたって、祭りがあったところとは少し離れた地域に泊まり、現地の生活を体感する貴重な経験もできたので、それについても機会があれば書こうと思います！

　次の訪問は今回できたつながりを頼りにもう少し長く滞在する予定なので、舞踊についてももう少し詳しく知ることができればいいなと思います！！

Ifugao

 Hello!

 I went to Lagawe municipality, Ifugao province on 11th June and saw the festival there!

 That was my first step for my research about the traditional dance in Ifugao.

 Lagawe is the municipality where the Dinuy-a dance was born. It takes about 1 hour by jeepney from Banaue, which is the center of Ifugao, to go there.

 There were also exhibitions of arts and bike races and so on at the gym of Don Bosco High School. And then outside, they have lots of street foods or exhibitions that express characters of each municipality in Ifugao. 

 I’ve mainly seen dance performances held there.

 Dinuy-a dance was born in Lagawe and then spreaded among Ifugao, so these are a bit different depending on the municipality. My home town Tokushima also has their own traditional dance named Awaodori, each group also has different ways of dance. I ‘ve been thinking there are similarities. 

 This event is a competition and each group is on behalf of their own municipality. There are judges in front of dancers and dancers from other municipalities are sitting around and watching them.

 The most impressive thing is that some of them are holding chicken during the dance and sometimes they are flying! It was surprising for me to use a living creature in their performance!

 I couldn’t stay long and even see rice terraces which is their signature. Guide accompanied me and I stayed at his friend's house located in Kiangan and Asipulo. I’m happy to experience the lifestyle of a provincial city and I hope I will be able to write about that sometime.

 Next time I will stay there more long so I will proceed my research more:))

Urpi Ritual by Mumbaki at Brgy. Kinakin, Banawe, Ifugao

Hi, Filipino here. Our traditional attire does not look like this nor does the music for Tinikling sound like that. I grew up doing cultural performances of many Filipino traditional dances, including Tinikling, and this is NOT Tinikling. Shoutout to @mindsey-moonbow whose comment is probably going unnoticed in the notes.

TECHNICALLY A SPOILER? Not too big, but some people might want to know.

FYI: We are naming the Geo Saurian! Please prepare your names ✌️ Just wanted to say it because I ended up panicking to look for a good name.

I named mine "Kolyog" after the Ifugao mythology god of earthquakes. The Ifugao is one of the native groups in my home country, the Philippines, just so you know why I picked that name.

If we are naming the other saurians, please know I have names ready for them too ^_^

In the city center of Baguio, visitors can come across a crumbling concrete shopping complex. Inside the cavernous five-story building, you will find retailers of phone casing shops, fruit stands, souvenir items, and other household goods.

The Baguio Stone market was constructed in 1917 by German prisoners of war as a depot for traders. The walls were excavated, dug, and hauled from nearby quarries, hence the name. Laborers included Japanese builders, locals from Ifugao and the neighboring highland regions, and some Germans interned in Baguio in World War 1.

The building was partially damaged by Japanese napalm bomb in World War II and was reconstructed in 1958. It finally met its fate when it caught fire in 1970.

The site was totally demolished in 1973 in favor of a 17-story hotel and commercial complex proposed by the Ministry of Human Settlements with Imelda Marcos at the helm. Civic groups and the Market Fire Victim's Association vigorously opposed the project. Construction ceased in 1978 and when it resumed, the plans were reduced to a modest five-story complex. 

A stone carving of an eagle with an inscription of the year 1917 that once adorned the entryway is now the only remaining souvenir of the Baguio stone market. You can find the carved stone today on the ground floor above the main entrance of the Maharlika Livelihood Market.
