The Dance at the Village Festival
of Mutalau
The dancing
began.
So much
concentration.
This little one
stole the show but did have flower trouble.
The crowd step up and push money into
waistbands and tops and somehow the dancers keep going.
This family began really
well.
Even managed
smiles.......................
.........................and did two
dances.
Grandma and Grandpa
stepped forward and the little chap said in a big voice,
“This next dance if for Papa Joe, our daddy.” Joseph Hafeikitana Mahakitau, 20th
April 1968 – 27th of June 2013.
The two oldest began openly weeping
the others looked shocked but somehow they got through
it.
The crowd
suffered for the children, some crying.
The men had a tough act
to follow.
ALL IN ALL SUCH A VILLAGE
