In several parts of Melanesia from New Guinea to Vanuatu, in Fiji, and on most of the high islands of Polynesia from Hawaii to Tahiti, the Marquesas, Tonga, Samoa, Niue, the Cook Islands, and New Zealand, making barkcloth is an ancient craft that has been practiced for thousands of years.

The origins, materials, and manufacturing techniques are described, as well as tapa's cultural context and uses in weddings, funerals, clothing, dance, and ornament.
