About This Book

The narrative presents the everyday life and customs of a young island girl, Auwae, and her community, describing her home, clothing, food, play, schooling, crafts, and local landscape. It combines gentle scenes of family and outdoor sports such as surf-riding and swimming with explanations of traditional dwellings, ornaments, and festivals, interwoven with local stories and accounts of contact with foreign visitors and changing political ties. Chapters also lead readers up mountain paths to a volcano, recount old legends and diving feats, and show how modern influences alter daily routines and material culture.
