Re: Marshall Islands Manit Day
Marshall Islands Manit Day (Marshall Islands Custom Day) Last Friday in September Cultural values and Customs in the Marshall Islands are known as Manit. Manit Day is part of the annual cultural festival Lutok Kobban Alele, which is the last week of September. The purpose of Lutok Kobban Alele is to promote and preserve the Marshallese culture. The Manit Day celebration takes place near the Alele Museum, Library, and National Archive, which displays exclusive and original artifacts of the Marshall Islands. Woven baskets, fans, hats, wall hangings, purses, mats, coasters, and Marshallese stick charts are made from such raw materials as coconut, pandana leaves, and likajir shells. Popular Marshallese products also include such coconut oil products as hand soaps and laundry detergents. As part of the celebration, children from all of the public schools have the opportunity to perform dances, sing songs, perform skits, or tell folklore stories. In addition, some local traditional contest games, including coconut husking and basket weaving, are often conducted.
