Photo series: Meetings of the Falefa village Fono [council]: That day the fono functioned as a court dealing with a dispute between two village women, and a minor offence by a young man. Fines were levied: a carton of tinned fish distributed among the matai, and a small pig, slaughtered and cooked as lunch for the matai.
