Vanuatu used to be called New Hebrides and managed by the French and English. In 1980 they gained independence. Our tour to the museum and market this morning was very memorable. A chief from a local tribe gave us a demonstration of sand painting story telling. This is a dying art that few know how to do.
The story of the people of this land has a long history of migration from Africa over 3,000 years ago. The people here have very dark skin. The love they have for the land reminded us of the Navajo people living over 6,000 miles away. Curious how all indigenous people put reverence for the land above all.
