The Kalinga people[2][3][4] (IPA: [kaliŋɡa]) are an indigenous ethnic group whose ancestral domain is in the Cordillera Mountain Range of the northern Philippines.[5] They are mainly found in Kalinga province which has an area of 3,282.58 sq. km. Some of them, however, already migrated to Mountain Province, Apayao, Cagayan, and Abra.[6] The Kalinga numbered 163,167 as of 2010.[1] Kalinga people originally migrated from Kalinga kingdom of ancient India most probably in 3rd c. BCE as most of the culture and customs have resemblance to Kalinga people or present day Odia in Odisha.
