Malo e leilei, last week to celebrate Tongan language week, our class had done DIY Kiekie’s. The Kiekie is seen as clothing of respect for Tongans because it is a significant part of the traditional Tongan culture. It’s worn by women on semi-formal events, if it is a highly formal event men and women will wear. Men wear a ta’ovalas while women wear Kiekie’s.
