The way of Water has no beginning and no end,
The sea is around you and in you,
The sea is your home, before your birth and after your death.
Our hearts beat in the womb of the world,
Our breath burns in the shadows of the deep,
The sea gives and the sea takes.
It connects all things, life to death
History
The Metkayina live along the shores of the Pandoran oceans, on islands or near the mainland. Their homes are Marui pods which are built into the roots of mangrove-like trees spanning the islands. These homes hang directly above the water presumably for easy access for swimming. Massive seawall terraces, similar in appearance to travertine terraces, guard the villages from strong waves and provide an easy place for the clan to fish. Some of the Metkayina villages have existed for thousands of years. Structures are constantly renewed but seldom replaced. The main village of Awa’atlu has small docks for canoes, a centralized ilu pen and communal areas for gathering, eating and the telling of tales and singing of songs.

You shall not set stone upon stone.
