Ngatu Tonga

Ngatu is the Tonga name given to tapa cloth or decorated bark cloth. It is made from the inner bark of Hiapo (paper mulberry tree). The pieces of bark are beaten with a mallet, widened and joined together to make larger pieces of cloth.
Ngatu Tonga is used for sitting on. It's similar to mats in NZ. They made glue by boiling the water then putting this slimy thingy in the pot. then you cool it down then theres glue.
