Feast Day in Kapingamarangi Pigs, Fattened for the Feast, Are Cut Up for the Island's Fireless Cooker Womenfolk will wrap the meat in leaves, place it on heated coral pebbles, then cover it with more leaves, mats, and a layer of sand (page 528). Left for hours in the pits, the pig becomes thoroughly cooked. Leaves of the pandanus against which the woman leans are used in making mats; its shredded fiber is woven into handicraft articles. The tree also produces large edible seed clusters. 525
