How do you make armour and weapons on a small pacific atoll, with no access to metal? The islanders of Kiribati in the South Pacific have had the answer to this question for centuries, and what they've created is nothing short of awe inspiring. Join curator Julie Adams as she examines these incredible objects in the Oceania collection, and unravels a story that reaches not only into the past of Kiribati warfare, but also into how these traditional techniques are being preserved for the future. Watch the full video via the link, or explore more on the British Museum channel.
