I have had nothing but trouble trying to upload this video of the outer island church service (described in my previous post) directly onto this blog. I have finally resorted to putting it on YouTube. You will find the URL below:
In the video, you can hear the parishioners singing in their native tongue and you can see the beautiful handmade lavalavas (woven skirts) worn by the women. Additionally, you will notice the backs of some of the women who continue in the native tradition of going topless. This is seen far more often once you leave Colonia, the capital of the state of Yap, where this was filmed.
