Kiekie girl on tonga


On Tonga a pretty girl wearing a kiekie and carrying a fan walks to church. 

The kiekie is worn around the waist of woman dressing up to go out. It can be made of all most anything, but most commonly from the pandanus tree and can be best described as a belt with stands that hang down below the knee. They are purely decorative and at some events like going out to for a dance can be very colourful.
