The story

Kayangel State Cultural Festival in Kayangel

A cultural gathering said to be held in Kayangel, Palau's remote northernmost atoll state, showcasing canoe building, storytelling, and traditional dance among the small resident community.

Kayangel sits at the far northern tip of the Palau archipelago, a ring of low coral islets surrounding a lagoon, separated from the rest of the nation by open ocean that only small boats can cross.
