More history than the Mississippi river has water

There's a lot of life and history in these faces. 

I'll bet they could talk for weeks on end just recounting the things they've seen and experienced.

Sadly we will never know.  This photo was taken 12 years ago and it's quite likely that these ladies are no longer part of this world.

I would love to known their stories if I could have just sat with them long enough to learn their language. 

They speak ifugao, one of more than 1000 languages in the Philippines.
