FIJI:The “meke” is a traditional Fijian dance performed by males that enacts local stories and events and is my personal favorite dance of all the cultures. The “gata” (snake) club was the most widely used by Fijian warriors and was designed to cut and snap through bone. The club was their most cherished personal possession. Designed for specific purposes, there are approximately 30 different types of clubs. The distinctive Fijian patterns of pride represented in this piece are strong, clean and simple resembling the foundation of the people of Fiji.
