N1  - Jenks, an American anthropologist working among the Bontoc Igorot in the early 20th century, noted active trading between the town of Samoki and neighboring towns.  Barter was the practice in towns without stores or a legalized currency. The Bontoc shown here are on their way to a nearby town with goods, mostly agricultural items, for exchange. For convenience they use the luwa, a shallow basket, and the akang, a rice sieve--made only in Samok and exchanged for the products of around 15 pueblos; Rare Book
