The Chanum Foundation Inc., founded in 1998, Tam-awan Village began to reconstruct Ifugao houses in Baguio City with the view of making a model village accessible to people who have not had the chance to travel to the Cordillera interior. Building in the land near an abundant spring, the foundation started out the three knock-down huts transported from Banga-an, Ifugao. The village now has seven Ifugao huts and two Kalinga houses. Using the original materials and adding only new cogon roofs, traditional artisans reconstruct the houses and laid them out resembling the design of a traditional Cordillera Village.
