The original inhabitants of the archipelago are known in the local language as Enanaa, meaning ‘people’. The word hao’e, ‘white foreigners’, is used to refer to outsiders and newcomers, particularly colonizers from the West. Traditionally, Marquesans wore clothing made of leaves and grasses, and decorated with animal teeth and beads. Nowadays their skirts are more likely to be made of cloth than grass. Marquesan men and women alike wear a pareu, a colourful sarong skirt wrapped around the waist.
