The men squatted around the campfire and poked the fire with a stick.
They were bare-footed and naked, except for their cloth and small basket hats for storing tobacco pipes and tobacco.
They have complicated tattoos on their chests.
Tin, barbed wire pattern and fine India-
The ink lines bend over their chest and arms.
Tattoos show the number of heads they shot.
Every time these people take a head from the enemy\'s village, the community celebrates a month\'s feast.
The dog was slaughtered and eaten as the center of the banquet.
However, this exotic display is not staged in the mountains of northern Philippines where the tribes come from.
All this happened on Coney Island.
At that time, it was 1905 kilometers. Phillipinos was on display at the Human Zoo of Luna Park amusement park.
On the other side of the tall bamboo fence, a group of American men, women and children dressed in their best clothes on Sunday cried at the door.
They handed over their dormitories and surged inside.
The visitors were open. mouthed wonder.
Even by the spectacular standards of Coney Island, the village of igolach is a surprising sight.
The tribal leader stepped forward and began to speak in a low voice.
The rest of the tribe gathered together.
At first, they began to sing quietly, and then broke out into an animated dance, accompanied by the sound of gongs and Tom in their hometown --tom drums.
The village manager, doctor.
Truman Hunt welcomed his American visitors and invited them to be as close as possible to the dreaded headhunter.
Bontoc Igorrotes-
It is simply called Igorrotes in the United States (
Spell igreants sometimes)-
Soon became a hot summer.
Reporters from The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Associated Press and fashion flocked to interview them.
Broadway stars, anthropologist, and even the daughter of President Teddy Roosevelt, Alice roseford, came to visit.
The tribe\'s success was driven by the tall stories of hunting and the propaganda genius, who managed to publish stories about \"Headhunters, dog-eating savages\" in the papers from the coast to the coast.
Soon after, the people of these tribes began to promote cartoons, poems and advertising slogans in the newspapers.
It must be pointed out that the cannibal hunted the head but did not eat human flesh.
But the summer of their fame at America\'s most famous amusement park is just the beginning of Igor Rott\'s adventure.
Within a year, they will eventually testify in court in the United States, accusing Hunt of theft and treating them shamefully.
The story of Truman Hunt and ignortus was first told in my new book, The Lost Tribe of Coney Island, which was published in October 14.
Hunter\'s relationship with igerotus began with Spain\'s 1898 outbreak and he went to the Philippines. America War.
The United States won control of the Philippines and began to evaluate the locals in her new territory to classify them based on how they were \"civilized\" or \"barbaric.
With its keen sense of humor, its proximity to nudity, headhunting and dog eating, the igerotes quickly captured the imagination of the first American tourists to the Philippines.
Hunter, who served in the medical team, was appointed vice governor of Bontoc and became a trusted friend of the tribal people.
In 1904, the US government spent $1.
5 million take thirteen hundred Filipinos to St. from a dozen different tribes.
Louis Fair
Their motive is politics.
By showing the naive, \"barbaric\" tribal people, the government hopes to win broad support for their policy in the Philippines by showing that the people of the islands are far from being prepared for themselvesgovernment.
Display of people from far away
Today, the corner of the Earth in the human zoo is considered shocking and shameful.
But in the late 19 th century and early 20 th century, the Human Zoo is a very popular form of entertainment in the United States, Britain, Europe and Japan.
Their prestige peaked during the period of imperialism.
Truman Hunt was appointed as the head of the village of San olach. Louis.
The Philippine reserve area is one of St. \'S most popular features.
The Louis Fair and Igorrotes attract the largest crowds.
Hunter came up with a plan.
He will return to the Philippines to form his own organization.
He will take them to the United States for exhibitions in markets and amusement parks across the country.
In Manila, he made his suggestion to the interior minister, Dean Worcester, one of the most powerful figures in the Philippines.
Worcester liked the idea.
Hunter hired a young Filipino named Julio bahrainnagar as his recruiter, assistant and translator.
He agreed to pay him $25 a month.
Balinag is ambitious and well educated and is a member of the original team to St. Louis.
He fell in love with the United States on his first visit and dreamed of building the future in the promised land of himself and his wife Maria.
He is very proud of his appearance and is always impeccable in American suits and highly polished leather shoes.
Hunter gives $15 a month to every man, woman and child who agrees to go to the United States with him. a life-
The number of Filipinos has changed.
Hunter, who was overwhelmed by volunteers, picked 50 people to travel to the United States.
The oldest is a man in his 60 s, named Falino Ygnichen;
Minimum of 7-year-oldyear-
The old Friday was strong, less than 4 feet tall, and an orphan.
Strong is a member of a different tribe;
He is a black native of the Philippines, and the Americans consider him one of the most brutal tribes on the island.
It is impossible to imagine what it would look like for tribal people, who have no language for many items in modern culture, including shoes, trousers, chairs or books, and are pushed into the typical metropolis of New York.
From the moment igerotes arrived at Coney Island, every moment of their waking life was under the public\'s gaze.
In the Philippines, people are used to roaming freely in the wilderness north of Luzon island.
They were banned from leaving their territory in Conny.
At midnight every day, the Igorrotes were locked in the village when the crowd finally left.
Their village is made up of thatched roof, which they built with straw, dirt and bricks.
The interior of the cottage is narrow and dark with dirty floors.
Behind the cottage is a huge tower.
This is the local watchtower, Hunter explained.
Hunter says there is one such at the entrance to every town or village of Igorrote.
The Igorrotes people climbed up to find headhunters close to the enemy.
Tribes have been confused as to why they need to build one in a country where the law does not allow them to hunt heads, but Balinag understands that it is all part of the show.
One day after another, thousands of tourists come to Luna Park to watch the wild men and women in the Philippines at close range.
They watched it.
Eyes like scantily-
The dressed tribesmen sang, danced, and held elaborate dog feasts.
At home, tribesmen only eat dogs on special occasions, such as after a wedding and a successful headhunting tour.
But in Corey, the dog feast is so popular that Igorrotes are allowed to eat dog meat every day.
The culture and rituals of the tribe are also distorted in other ways.
Under Hunter\'s instructions, the Igorrotes perform funeral ceremonies and war dances when there is no funeral
One died or went to war.
Couples who did not intend to live together were persuaded to attend a mock wedding and to have a well-prepared banquet.
The men held false battles and described their headhunting adventures.
Over the past few weeks, the reputation of the igrott has spread throughout the United States, all the way to the White House.
Visitors come from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, etc.
They brought American clothes for g-
Tribal residents wearing ropes, as well as gifts of candy and cigars, even offered to adopt Filipino children.
At the instigation of Hunter, Igorrotes gave in to the crowd, who in turn threw five coins and coins into the village to show appreciation.
Hunter took his right.
Hand man Callahan collects coins into the village.
The display man said he was keeping tips for tribal residents and their wages and money for the sale of souvenirs ---
Rattan rings, necklaces made of beads and copper wire, hand-made baskets and woven fabrics.
By summer, the people of the tribe had turned hunter into a very rich man.
He and his wife Sally live in the best restaurants in New York and make sure to see them in the most upscale clubs.
Sally, 18-
Less than half Hunter\'s age. -
He spoiled his young wife with exquisite clothes and expensive jewelry as a luxurious gift.
At the end of August, Coney Island ushered in the first baby ever.
Hunter is on top of the world.
From Massachusetts to Manchester, England, his tribe was on the front page of the newspaper.
The performers felt invincible.
Late one night, Hunter called Balinag to his office and told his assistant that he was going to take him and half the tribe away from Conny.
He gave no explanation.
In the dead of night, they boarded the train to Memphis.
Tribal people never thought they might be with their friends and family.
Separation hit them hard.
As part of the human zoo, they are increasingly disappointed with their lives.
Despite their complaints, they are still being asked to eat dog meat every day, and Hunter has not paid a penny of the salary they promised.
Every time they challenge hunter, he gets cranky.
Igorrotes is popular in Memphis.
Thanks to Hunter\'s success, his plan became more ambitious.
With the end of the summer on Coney Island, Hunter instructed Karahan to divide the egrotus he left in New York into two groups.
Each group will tour the country with a business partner from kalahan and Hunter.
Three groups at Hunter.
Travel across the United States to Texas, Louis Anna, Florida and Kansas from Arkansas and stop in more than 50 towns.
Filipinos began to hate life on the road.
By the end of 1905, they had fed up with America and began begging Hunter to send them home.
Showman promised to do so just after they cashed out more bookings.
As their activities last for a few weeks and sometimes just a few days, the villages of the tribe are becoming more and more basic.
The discontent of the igrote people has increased.
They worry about their family.
Some men have wives and children in Bontoc.
They left them enough food and other supplies to maintain the year they expected to leave, but the stuff will run out soon.
The year they signed up to work for Hunt came and went, and the tribesmen were still performing in the United States and could not see the return date.
On May 1906, Hunter took 18 tribal members to sousouci Park in southern Chicago.
They were squeezed in three small.
Set up tents on muddy land under the roller coaster trestle.
A tourist was shocked by what he had seen, and he wrote to the US government complaining about the poor living conditions of the igrote people.
The War Department sent Frederick Barker, one of their best agents, to Chicago to investigate.
Hunter got word that he was coming out of town.
Followed by a well-crafted cat-and-mouse game, hunting people who crossed the United States and crossed the border into Canada with tribes.
Detective Pinkerton joined the government search.
It is rumored that Hunter\'s property was burned.
The US government was informed that he had started importing more Igorrotes and mixed them with his original team.
Every time someone from buckpeace and cton successfully tracked Hunter, the performers immediately gave them a note.
In October 1906, Hunter was finally out of luck and he was arrested.
He was accused of stealing $9,600 in wages from tribal people and using force to steal hundreds of dollars earned by tribal people selling handmade souvenirs.
Five Filipinos, including Balinag and his wife Maria, stayed as witnesses to Hunt\'s trial.
The American dream has been dashed for Filipinos.
Although they have gained fame in the United States and elsewhere, the story of the Igor rotters has disappeared in the fog of time.
Throughout their ordeal, despite the most extreme provocation, Igorrotes showed great dignity.
Their story makes us question who is civilized and who is barbaric.
How did the central figure of the spectacle that hung over America disappear from public memory?
One answer is that Igorrotes is replaced by the next popular feeling.
Another equally possible explanation is that the country is embarrassed by this shameful incident in her history.
