Did you know about the 'Prince Philip Movement'?
Do you know of such tribes and traditions?
We find many remote places in the world. One such place is Tanna. Tanna is an island in the Tafea Province of Vanuatu. It has a population of about 29,000 people and is populated by Melanesians.
Vanuatu is made up of 83 islands in the South Pacific. It's sixth largest, Tanna, is 40km long and only 19km wide, but one can do and see a number of things. Traditions and customs are strong in the area, so much so that there is a tribe on the remote island who hailed Prince Philip as a hero.
The tribe was devastated to hear of his passing and practiced a ritual with ceremonial dancing to mark his death and is planning to start a political party in his honor.
