I became
fascinated with the local dancing shown in picture #1. Every day during Peace Corps
training I would visit my teacher Kieaki and her husband Benataki for my lesson, which
always ended with tea and doughnuts. This picture is my graduation, of sorts. On the last
day, I was given my own grass skirt for my dance performance for the village that night.
My pride was mixed with fear as Kieaki 'hemmed' my skirt with a sharp machete as I wore
it! Photo by Meg Kinghorn |
