Igorot Village: Then & Now SEATTLE, WA (KPLU) - 100 years ago, Seattle put a group of primitive mountain people from the Phillippines on display at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Expo. Some local Filipinos are still haunted by that display which they say was racist. But as KPLU's Florangela Davila reports, the actual descendants of this indigenous group don't see it that way.
