Photo Title	Men's Village Song Performance on Easter Day
Photo Description	This photo was taken on Easter Day 2010, on a remote atoll in Yap State, Federated States of Micronesia. Micronesia is largely and devotedly Catholic, organizing elaborate Christmas and Easter celebrations every year. On this atoll, the men and women of each village prepare and perform local song and dance routines for the Easter celebration. You can see the men, high school students from two of the five villages, and me singing a song (written by the high school boys) before our dance about the importance of coming together as a community. In addition to the standard loin cloths, we are wearing Micronesian leis (mwaramwars), palm frond skirts, and arm bands.
