Though the Philippine exhibit was considered a `reservation,' there was some controversial and cultural problems in keeping diverse tribal peoples together, especially during the proper age of the Victorians. The organizers of this exhibit might have used trickery on some occasions in order to `recruit' tribal people for the Philippine Exhibit. Some of the Philippines were not aware of their destination until they arrived in St. Louis. The trip was long and difficult, but in general, the `recruits' were well-treated and well-fed.
