Lawn mower storage
- Collection
- Description
-
Who knows if either lawn mower works? Local grass was tough on them. In the early mission days, villagers were required to cut the mission house lawn with machetes. In the 1970s this chore was still obligatory. In addition, villagers were expected to keep the grass around their homes very short to discourage disease-carrying insects. Village chores like cutting mission house grass took place on 'dei belong kafmen' (government day), which took place monthly. On that day, villagers were expected to help with local projects rather than tend their own gardens. Chickens and roosters roam freely.
