Pig preparations
Preparing a pig for the fire. Hair is removed by pouring boiling water over the skin, or (when you’re in the woods) by hanging the body over an open fire. Vaipae’e, Ua Huka.

Marquesan Bedroom
Many Marquesan families sleep on beds or mattresses in common living spaces like the living room or the porch. I slept here, in the family living room, while I was in Vaipaee, Ua Huka in October 2013.
