Another picture of Kanak graves. We (or at least I) were trying to stay inconspicuous when taking these photos, as the beliefs in sacredness is very strong among the Kanak. I was told that a Japanese tourist was killed a few years ago for standing on a sacred area, but the circumstances surrounding the death is still a mystery. Not sure if this is true or not, but offending less people is probably a good idea.
