Deniker comes to a similar conclusion from a study of the results obtained by many observers. A comparison of these figures with those of our Luzon groups brings out several interesting points. It shows that the Tinguian are not related to the Chinese, "because of their tall stature;" for they are, as a matter of fact, shorter than either the Chinese or Igorot.
Then they put the iron soil-turner into the fire, and when it was red hot, they took it to the door and said to the alligator: "Here, eat this first." He opened his mouth, and they pushed the red hot iron down his throat, and he died. Dogedog Tinguian Dogedog had always been very lazy, and now that his father and mother were dead and he had no one to care for him, he lived very poorly.
Thanks to the teachings of the elders, the Tinguian knows how to propitiate them; and, if necessary, he may even compel friendly action on the part of many. Toward the less powerful of the evily disposed beings, he shows indifference or insolence; he may make fun of, or lie to, and cheat them during the day, but he is careful to guard himself at night against their machinations.
At the same time these traditional accounts doubtless exercise a potent influence on the thoughts, beliefs, and actions of the people. In Tinguian society, where custom still holds undisputed sway, these well-known tales of past times must tend to cast into the same mould any new facts or experiences which come to them.
When they reached the town, every person went to them to give their regards. Tagápen and his wife with her son stayed in a little house we call balaua; they lived there teaching many dalengs and bagayos of the Tinguian people. Fables 77 The Turtle and the Monkey There was once a turtle and a monkey who went to make a clearing.
The singer uses the downward glissandos, so characteristic of nearly all of the Tinguian songs of this group. These glissandos are indicated by oblique lines drawn beneath the tones covered by the slide. In the second measure there is an almost inaudible tone at the end of the glissando. It is indicated by a small, square note.
When comparing the Tinguian versions of these fables with those of the Ilocano, one is impressed with the fact that while the incidents upon which they are founded are often identical, the stories themselves have frequently been moulded and changed by the tellers, who have introduced bits of old customs and beliefs until they reflect, in a way, the prevalent ideas of the people.
The weapons of the warriors, which we are specifically told were of metal, are identical with those seen at the present time, while the methods of warfare agree with the accounts still told by the old men of their youthful exploits. A survey of the tales brings out boldly the fact that a headhunt was one of the most important events in Tinguian life.
Individuals of each type are found in all the groups considered, but taken in the average, it is found that the Ilocano and Valley Tinguian fall into the first or round-headed class, the Bontoc Igorot are mesaticephalic, while between them are the mountain Tinguian and Apayao.
