Description
Walter Toa, Sean's "brother" and adviser, leads Sean around the circle of dancers performing savagoro. His arms are positioned in a variant of the welu position, indicating (a) that he is a leader (if not yet a chief), and (b) that he and, by extension, his protege - Sean - honor and respect the dancers.
