No, He's from American Samoa and they make these baskets and fill them with food from his farm and in their culture they take it to their Pastor's house after the Imu is done. He is the eldest son, so he has had a lot of practice. This was taught to him by his Uncle.
in our culture those baskets are still used today as we used them before, for every day tasks may it be official ceremonies or just gathering your mei, siaina, talo and manioca for cooking they're tools, nothing more but usual tools in Uvea mo Futuna islands just to get the foods to the Pastor after the umu sounds weird but, hey, culture must survive, no matter the way! good job and thanks for the vid
Seth MANUKULA we are going to start an online business to raise $$$ for the Polynesian islands for natural disasters relief. We are going to use these baskets as a gift basket to send out our items in (Lilikoi butters, cake pops, chocolate covered strawberries, muffins and more) any ideas on a business name for the islands and the treats????
LisanUaina well, as you may know, the coconut tree (niu) and the fishes (ika) used to be (and still are today) the two most valuable things we had, apart from our family bonds... I don't have any name ideas and I think it must come from your hearts... just this, remembe that the coconut tree gives us everything! Food, water, oil and the base fibers to make cords from its nuts - wood to carve, to heaten ourselves or even to make flour out of it - leaves to weave us hats, baskets, mats and boat sails... if you have to choose, keep all that in mind... we have these in common in all the Polynesian Islands
LisanUaina hey don't thank me, it's all about culture, something you have in you even though it's hidden, it's still there and you don't have to thank me for talking about something you have in you but I welcome your words and greetings with great pleasure and thank you in return cheers
J Michelle when the weather is better and we have time to film another day, we will make a how to, step by step video. This video was made spontaneously because I didn't know he knew how to make baskets or anything like that this was the first time I discovered one of his talents.

He made that basket in 9 minutes and 30 seconds. Imagine how many he can make in one day.
