Tonga, Tonga Rural Innovation Project - Phase II, December, 2019
Description:
Sela Fifita weaves a traditional Tongan basket known as a kato 'alu in the recently renovated Petani Community Hall, 'Eua. The roots that the baskets are made from are relatively rare and slow growing. The Petani Community Hall serves as an important communal space for weavers and other traditional handicraft makers. Her daughter Teotora (Deborah) is nine years old. During school breaks or after school on school days, Teotora is at the hall together with her mother. She plays with the other children, but is also learning to weave baskets from her mother.
