"Learn about the Island culture in Chuuk" Top 5 Page for this destination Federated States of Micronesia Things to Do Tip by Ekahau

 
 

A very good place to start is at the College of Micronesia at the Chuuk campus in the state capital of Weno Chuuk. They have classes in traditional culture like building the outriggers, growing swamp Taro and sailing. Also classes in tradition music and Dance but what is really nice is you can meet kids from all the outer Islands. Once i sorted out the outer Island i want to go to i than meet some of the kids at the College of Micronesia who were learing to be teachers and go back to their home Islands.

Another great place is the Xavier High School, Micronesia in Weno Chuuk there are about 200 students and they come from all over Micronesia. They all build traditional huts built they way they would on their home Island and cook traditional foods which are open to the public from time to time but just a great place to go and photograph the triditional huts.
