Historic Vessels curator David Payne and Indigenous curator Helen Anu recently attended the opening of the museum's Massim Canoe exhibition at the Massim Museum and Cultural Centre in Papua New Guinea.

This video was filmed on Saturday 2nd November at the Kenu and Kundu Festival in Alotau, Milne Bay Province, PNG.

The war canoes featured were re-enacting a raid - they race toward the beach paddling to a chant. Then, leaping from the canoes, their paddles become weapons.

The Kenu and Kundu festival is held every year in Alotau - thousands come from nearby to see the canoes, community events and dancing over three days.
