In conducting the cañao, the peoples will butcher pig. They will lay the pig on a bed of grass in the middle of the ground. Then some peoples will voluntary perform the tayaw with the beats of the gongs and drums. They will use the yellow, red, black ibaloi traditional attire. After a few rounds of dancing or performing the tayaw, the crowd will shout “Ooaay, oooaay, oooh, oooh” meaning “God bless you always” this signals the dancers to stop .The traditional dance is repeated several times.
Cañao is a ritual involving sacrificial of pigs , cows ,or even carabaos as a thanks giving for a bountiful harvest, weeding,or and others. The “mambuneng” or spiritual leader delivers a simple prayer for the spirits to guide them , or to give thanks for the foods, for the attendance of everyone. Two women starts beating brass gong called kalsa and the pinsak, it will be followed by another woman with the tikitek, it is two iron rods producing high-pitched sounds. A lot of peoples thought that only men’s are the ones to play the instruments but the truth is womens are also allowed to play the instruments. Tapey, the native rice wine is being passed around after the dance. Everyone drinks from the same glass as a sign of harmony and unity. Tapey is served in important occasions and festivities such as cañao.
Then the crowd will be still and only the sound of the gongs and drums will be heard. The men’s will still hold the sacrificial pig, then someone will cut across the pig’s chest using a bolo. The flesh will be chopped and boiled in a big, black cauldrons with nothing but water and salt which will be shared to the crowd when cooked. The intestines and blood are collected to be made into "dinardaraan". Boiled “dok-to” ( camote) and “abe” (gabi) will be served to everyone as an appetizer while waiting for the pork to be cooked. And when the meat is already cooked, the servers will rice, one piece of meat, and one peace of fat. The livers will be given to the elders as a sign of respect and because it is soft part . if someone can’t eat all their food, they can bring it home. After eating, everyone sings in chorus , “thank you, thank you , thank you very much” with a smile on their face.
