After a full afternoon at the Festival Village we headed to the stadium to see the fire knife competition. We were surprised to see that there were other performances in between the fire knife dancing. It made the whole night a bit long for us so we went home before we could see who won, but we loved the parts we saw!
Tahiti started the night off:
Then a Samoan tauluga, followed by part of the fire knife competition.
Yes, it's not just the picture... these kids are really young. I have no idea of their ages, but there was a kids' division in the competition. It was pretty amazing, especially when I considered that both Everett and Simon would probably love to get up on stage and throw around some flaming swords. I'm just not sure that anyone would survive. These kids (and the entire audience) survived and actually did very well.
Then Papau New Guinea:
Rotuma, which is now part of Fiji, but has a different culture:
And Fiji was the last group we saw before we called it a night.
