Notable Events
In 1904, several Igorot were brought to St. Louis, Missouri, United States of America. They constructed the Igorot Village in the Philippine Exposition section of the 1904 World's Fair, which became one of the most popular exhibits. The poet T. S. Eliot, who was born and raised in St. Louis, visited and explored the Village. Inspired by their tribal dance and others, he wrote the short story "The Man Who Was King" in 1905.
