Pwo Ceremony_Hash pachu
Hasu pachu One of the primary stages of canoe building is hasu pachu or when the ending pieces of the canoe are connected not in its final form or finishing stage yet. This is important because once the ending part of the canoe is put in place, it provides the master carver the opportunity to look it the canoe from a distance and determine the height and length of the canoe. Building the side planks also requires more than one person for lashing. As was shown in the video, the Central Caroline Islands, because of lack of large logs, have to build by several pieces being lashed together. As was shown in previous video, here the young boys are lashing the planks together. It should also be noted that this is not the final stage which means the thickness of the planks are rather large but so long as they are nicely fitted, they can and will be trimmed down during finishing carving of the canoe.
