Description
Weaving skills: Lehi shows off crafts adapted from traditional weaving. In pre-Independence days, local representatives for the PWMU (Presbyterian Women's Missionary Union) inspired these handicrafts and, in some villages, these items became popular tourist purchases. This wasn't true in South West Bay where tourists rarely visited, but Mewun found them useful and decorative for their own use.
