| 4049587 | Benn K | Daku village, is in the province of Tailevu. The village is also referred to as "na vanua ko Nasaumatua" One of the unique attractions for Daku village is the 'Iri ni Daku' (weaved fans). It is a village located about 20 minutes outside of Nausori town and the Daku village women are known for weaving unique fans. As an age-old tradition, it is said that the skills of making a Daku fan is not given easily to any woman who is not from Daku Village, however it can be taught to those married into the village. The making of these traditionally weaved fans has now been one of the major source of income for the families in Daku village. *** I have moved the marker to the big bulding in the middle of the village as it is where the community hall is located, and right opposite the church which is on top of the village map.
