In Kanak culture, Earth is represented as a source of life, and seen as “mother-earth”, or “mother-nature”. The Kanak people consider that they belong to the Earth and pay great respect to their land. The families of the little villages in New Caledonia (Melanesia) live from what the sea has to offer them.
Extract from the documentary: “Connecting traditions - New Caledonia, the roots men”
Direction: Alexandre Mostras
Production: Ma Drogue A Moi & Ushuaïa TV

This is exactly how people lived in coastal regions of India until a couple of generations ago. The life of coastal people throughout the world untouched by industrialization is so simple, yet so meaningful!

As an Igbo from Nigeria, Yam is a central part of our culture. We celebrate the New Yam Festival which we call Iriji or Ikeji. I totally understand how important Yam is to her based on my own Culture 😊

“If you don’t have any yams, you’re not a man or woman.” I love that quote. In Tonga 🇹🇴, yams is seen as a delicacy just like how taro is a delicacy in Samoa 🇼🇸. It’s interesting to see how Tonga 🇹🇴 can relate to New Caledonia in that way, where the two countries both value “yams.” Yams is also important in Nigeria 🇳🇬? It’s so interesting to see how there are similarities in “values” in simple things like the food that we eat, such as yams. In Tongan 🇹🇴 we call it ‘ufi. Very interesting 🧐😅

Hey, beautiful video. The pacing, content and cinematography were really perfect for taking us there and showing us other people's experiences. Unfortunately there was some weird othering/exotification here and there and some patronising language (maybe unintentional?). I just want to point it out because it jars in an overall beautiful piece of work. Reminds me of the best of the old Sesame Street vignettes from the 1970s/80s :)

Yams are currency, the same as pigs on other Melanesian' Islands. The benefits of living in a tropical' climate are beyond value. I'm native' British and, for me, the UK is the worst Island simply because of the unstable climate. Is compounds misery. It beats me why anyone would want to come here. Anywho, getting away from the point. My heart is Melanesian/Papuan. I never knew that Caladonia/new Caladonia are part of Melanesia. I love these docu's. Thank u ❤
