Samoan Umu

Today for Wananga we watched a video about how to make a Samoan Umu. Here is the Link for if you want to watch the video. Here are some questions I had to answer:

What is an Umu? What does it need, what is it for?
A Umu is like a Hangi. It needs lots of traditional food for that culture and leaves to help it burn. You can have a Umu to celebrate birthdays, weddings or funerals.


How are traditional Samoan skills taught?
Samoan skills are usually self taught.

Is there something you have experienced similar to an Umu? What was it? Where did you experience it?
I have never been to something like that but my bother did when he was at his primary school they had a Hangi, he didn't really like it though.

What types of things are cooked in an Umu?
In the video they cooked coconut, bananas, fish and coconut cream wrapped in different types of leaves.
