| Title | Igorrote workers at Igorrote Village, Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, Seattle, 1909. |
| Photographer | Nowell, Frank H. |
| Date | 1909 |
| Caption | One of the most popular attractions at the AYPE was an exhibit of a mock village of the Igorrote people, natives of the Philippine Islands. Igorrote men, women and children were displayed in a simulated "native" habitat, with typical Igorrote houses; they performed dances and demonstrated traditional crafts in their sometimes controversial traditional attire of loincloths.
Frank H. Nowell (1864-1950) was appointed the official photographer of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, which took place in Seattle in 1909. Nowell's many AYPE photographs were displayed at the fair and used in many official publications. |
