𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐀 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲

Isnag is derived from a combination of 'IS,' meaning 'recede,' and 'UNAG,' meaning 'interior.' Thus, it translates to 'people who live inland.' The Isnags are described as having a slender and graceful stature, being kind, hospitable, and generous, with a strong sense of self-reliance and courage.

The Isnag, also referred to as Yapayao and Isneg (an slang term used by the Ilocanos), trace their origins to the Province of Apayao, though they are also found in parts of Cagayan and Ilocos Norte. Their populations are distributed across the municipalities of Calanasan, Kabugao, Pudtol, Flora, Luna, Santa Marcela, and Conner in Apayao; the eastern part of Ilocos Norte, specifically Adams, Carasi, Dumalneg, Vintar, Marcos and other towns in Ilocos Norte: the northwestern part of Cagayan, particularly Sta. Praxedes, Sanchez Mira, and Pamplona.

The Isnag sub-tribes are classified based on their dialect accents. Despite the variations in accents, they are still able to understand and communicate with each other:

Imandaya (Ymandaya): Predominantly found in Calanasan, Apayao; Carasi, Ilocos Norte; Solsona, Ilocos Norte; Barangay Cacafean, Marcos Ilocos Norte; Barangay Marag in Luna, Apayao; Barangay Kittag in Sanchez Mira, Cagayan; and Barangay Masi in Pamplona, Cagayan.

Imallod: Populations are spread across Kabugao, Pudtol, Flora, Santa Marcela, and Luna in Apayao.

Ingahan: A sub-tribe of the Isnag people, primarily inhabiting areas along the Nagan River in Pudtol, Apayao.

Itawit: A sub-tribe of the Isnag people, populations are distributed in the municipality of Pudtol, Apayao and some parts of Flora, Apayao. The Itawit domain is along the Tawit River, between Upper Atu' and Upper Pudtol in Apayao.

Isnag (Isneg) of Conner: Often spelled as Isneg due to the tribe's pronunciation, found primarily in Conner, Apayao part.

Iyapayao (Ehapayao/Yapayao): Populations are distributed in Adams, Dumalneg, and other towns in Ilocos Norte, as well as Sta. Praxedes in Cagayan.

Imalawa: An Isnag subtribe located in the outskirts of Vintar, Ilocos Norte. The Malawa live in the village of Isic Isic, a peaceful and charming area in the Surong Valley, known for its natural beauty and friendly inhabitants.

River People of the Northern Philippines

The Isnags are called river people because they historically used riverways to navigate and settle in the mountains. The Imandaya prefer the upper streams "daya" of the Apayao River, Diksonan River, and Kadlay River, while the Imalawa favor the riverways of Vintar-surung, from Malawa (a sitio of Barangay DRAS, Calanasan) to Katoan (now Barangay Tanglagan, Calanasan). The Imallod live along the lower stream "allod" of the Apayao River. The Ingahan inhabit areas along the Nagan River, and the Isnags of Conner reside along a major tributary of the Matalag River. The Ehapayao/Iyapayao (Yapayao) prefer the Bulu River, known as 'payaw,' in the eastern part of Ilocos Norte and the northwestern part of Cagayan.
