Because this week is Samoan language week we had to make a blog about an Umu and answer these questions.
What is an Umu? What does it need, what is it for?An umu is a rock oven. You need compact rocks, banana leaves, fire wood, coconut and husk and two pieces of dry wood. An umu is made by rubbing two sticks together and burning wood and coconut husk then heating up rocks, Putting the food on top and putting leaves over the rocks to keep the steam in.
