Chief's Day

The day honoring the chiefs of Vanuatu, and it is celebrated with ceremonies, kava drinking, and the traditional meal of laplap. The chiefs are the traditional leaders of the ni-Vanuatu people, and they are the custodians of the customary law, the land, and the culture. The Chief's Day is not just a holiday. It is a cultural institution, and the tradition is to drink kava with the chiefs, listen to their speeches, and pay respect to their authority.
