Description
Re-photographed image from a villager's scrapbook. South West Bay men carry first Prime Minister Walter Lini, 1980, when Vanuatu gained Independence from France and Great Britain. One resident commented on Lini's heavy weight: 'Oli kaikai long pensil nomo. Oli no wok' or "They just eat from the pencil. They don't work."
