Project Gutenberg 2004-12-01 Public domain in the USA. 133 Cole, Fay-Cooper 1881 1961 A Study in Tinguian Folk-Lore Thesis Produced by Jeroen Hellingman, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Study in Tinguian Folk-Lore" by Fay-Cooper Cole is an anthropological study written during the early 20th century. The work explores the rich tapestry of folk tales from the Tinguian people, a notable pagan tribe from the mountainous regions of Northern Luzon in the Philippines, providing insights into their cultural practices, beliefs, and social structure. The primary focus of the text is on the interrelationship between the folk tales and the religious and cultural ideals of the Tinguian, shedding light on their historical context and the evolution of their narratives over time. At the start of the study, the author introduces the collection of folk tales observed during his extended stay with the Tinguian tribe. He details the classification of these tales into three main categories: the mythical stories that illustrate foundational cultural beliefs, the ritualistic and explanatory myths that explain various practices and natural phenomena, and regular stories told for entertainment. The opening chapters establish a methodological framework for analyzing the tales, emphasizing the importance of understanding the Tinguian people's worldview and the values assigned to their traditions. Through this lens, the early sections of the book aim to reconstruct a sense of the Tinguian's historical culture, offering a glimpse into their daily life and social dynamics within the context of the tales chosen for study.
