[edit]

The mythology section of this article are not backed by any known reliable source. Majority of statements in the section are not found in the source provided. While the only source provided is a self-published article, which shouldn't be here as per Wikipedia policy. It is likely that the content is fake and not actual Bugkalot myth. I propose for the section's removal. Additionally, I also propose for the name-change of the article into "Bugkalot", as this is the ethnic title which the people actually identify themselves with, as they view the term Ilongot as not human, as it actually came from the word Gongot (wilderness), which the Bugkalot mostly stay away from as per studies conducted by scholars. This data is further explored by Mikkelsen in his Chaosmology: Shamanism and personhood among the Bugkalot, published by the University of Chicago through the Journal of Ethnographic Theory.

After further reading, I have found a book that may give proper source to some entries in the Mythology section, but many of the statements there would be removed as they are actually not found in the source I found, or any source already cited. My proposal to rename this article into Bugkalot continues to stand. PCommission (talk) 23:05, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
