One of the audience members were chosen as the chief!

The Fijians take their kava making very seriously. Some major songs and chantings accompanied the procedure.

Remember how our food in the Jordan deserts were cooked underground. Pretty much the same concept here! A fire was lit in a hole and then that heated up the stones. The fire was removed and soft tree pulps were put on the stones so that the food did not get burnet. Finally, all food were wrapped in individual leaves to keep them moist. We had potatoes, cassava, chicken, fish, eggplant and some local vegetables.

It is a fairly primitive one where the fish comes in from the large mouth of the cone and then gets trapped in the front. For this to work, you have to rely on the fish not being smart enough to swim backwards. And apparently, they are not!

From the reed plants (you can see them behind the hut). The black color came from being underground for a month. Reminded us of similar techniques we saw in the village in Panama.

This was a demonstration of how pretty much every part of the coconut tree was used to make day to day items in the village.

The explanation of the use of those weapons was a bit gory. The cannibal fork, in particular that was used to scoop out your eyeballs and brains!

Fiji had cannibalism till fairly recently (about 150 years back).
