Live tv report of turtle calling in kadavu

Answer 1

Families and residents in an island of Kadavu, Fiji, have been carrying out this sacred and emotionally-charged turtle calling ceremony. I am here in the beating sun, high on the headland above Udelevu Beach, to see exactly what happens. The story goes that a beautiful island princess and her daughter were captured by warriors and held on a boat. As a storm threatened to capsize the vessel, the women morphed into turtles and escaped. This fable is now celebrated in a calling ceremony, as we can see, people stand shouting, laughing and chanting out to the ocean to bring the mythical turtle descendants home. Here's opening they make a safe return today.
