Orchid Island (not really an island) near Lami Town; once a thriving, busy cultural center that now has been abandoned. We visited with Elder and Sister Terry.
The insides remain in very good condition with all the poles wrapped and shell designs on the walls...Awesome workmanship!
On into the garden we found cages used formerly for birds and small animals; beautiful flowers; then a place where artifacts were kept. Quite remarkable that some of these things still remain!
We went back another time, a few months later, and there was another flood and the neighborhood children have destroyed a lot of the artifact area. Sad thing that it hasn't been kept up and maintained!
