New Caledonia: The everyday life of a family | SLICE

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.

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!

Yup. This is how our grandmothers and mothers have been doing it in the Pacific Islands since the beginning of time. Nothing new. We are one spirit in Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia.
