This book is a humble contribution to the national effort to write about Philippine society, particularly Bontoc society, from the point of view of a native. Mrs Cawed has dwelt at length on the history, and culture of this ethnic group. Her description of its social structures, customs, arts, mores, folklore and other aspects of its culture will surely benefit social scientists in particular and the Filipino people in general. An important feature of this book is a very helpful appendix. This is valuable because aside from documents and other sources, she made use of knowledgeable natives, friends and relatives from her own community.
