A ‘cañao’ is believed to be a pagan religious feast and service during which the natives butcher pigs, chickens, and even carabaos as forms of thanksgiving, offering, and for other relevant purposes. It is also a rite or ritual and offerings rendered to the ‘Anitos’, the ancestral spirits of our beloved departed. This religious service or liturgy which is also a sacred ritual is headed by the native priests, or the anointed.
There are several types of ‘cañao’ depending on the purpose of execution. Before 1900, ‘cañao’ is divided into three purposes. According to the different authors of ‘Tanggawan,’ an Igorot Studies Center Publication Series, ‘cañao’ is performed for a bountiful harvest, for economic progress, and for healing. Moreover, in relating the purpose of ‘cañao’ to our ancestors’ head-hunting activities, it is performed as a ritual before and after a headhunting or a war will take place for it to be a success. To better understand our ancestors headhunting activities is to relate it to a quotation from the book of Exodus (Exodus 21:23-27) ‘’an eye for an eye’’ as a just punishment that is accepted and well-respected back in the days. In performing a ‘cañao’, the native priest leading the ritual will look at the ‘apdo’ or the bile sac of the butchered animal which is the crux of the ceremony.
