Longoteme, Tonga. 1963
Eleven women with seven young children are seated cross-legged on coconut palm leaves in a semi circle. One woman in the centre of the circle is pouring water into a kava bowl which another woman is making. They are seated beneath a breadfruit tree. In the background is a fale with weaved coconut palm leaf thatching for the sides and roofing.
