The Ilkano tribe lives in the northern part of the Philippines. They place immense importance on symbols.
Do you know: Any black moth or butterfly entering a house is considered a bad omen amongst the Ilkano.
The Ilkano people believe that the demise of an individual can be predicted by symbols that may appear in dreams. These symbols include falling teeth, falling hair, falling hat or even dreams about floods, snakes or a black animal. Such dreams may be interpreted as an omen for a death in the family.
