[7] All the ceremonies described in this section were recorded
among the Benguet Kankanay in the townships of Kibungan, Kapangan,
and Buguias. All the texts were recorded in Kibungan except those of
the kiad, which were recorded in the central barrio of Kapangan, and
those of the ampasit and tanong, which were recorded in the barrio
of Legleg, Kapangan. Kibungan is a town in the northwestern corner
of Benguet. It is inaccessible, and has been affected very little by
outside influence. It adjoins the Amburayan town of Bacun, and the
Lepanto town of Ampasungan. Legleg is about midway between Kibungan and
the Nabaloi boundary; the barrio of Kapangan is on the line between
the Nabaloi and Kankanay; and Buguias is in the northeastern part of
Benguet, north of the Nabaloi town of Kabayan. The dialect is spoken
with some difference of pronunciation in the various towns. It is
believed that all public ceremonies celebrated by the Benguet Kankanay
are described in this section, but some of the private ceremonies
were probably overlooked.
