They are known for their rich cultural heritage, traditional practices, and unique languages. The major groups include the Igorot, Ifugao, and Bontoc, each with distinct customs and social structures. These communities are recognized for their agricultural practices, particularly rice terraces, which are a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Cordillera Peoples maintain a strong connection to their ancestral lands and often engage in communal activities, such as festivals and rituals, that celebrate their identity and promote unity among their tribes.
