    Kapingamarangi is one of two Polynesian Islands with Nukuoro Atoll in Micronesia. March 15 is the Kapingamarangi Taro Cerebration Day, which commemorates communal efforts to expand taro patches on the island. This project, which began around 1944 during WWII, was very hard work during the hardship in wartime, only relying on manpower with simple tools such as shovels made from a drum. Their success was begun to be cerebrated from 1947. Two kinds of food, sea eels and giant swamp taro, are the main dishes in the communal feast. The eels were caught in traps and were roasted on fire fueled by firewood of hard mangrove wood for several hours.
