Micronesian culture encompasses the diverse traditions and practices of the people living in the Micronesia region, which includes over 2,000 islands in the western Pacific Ocean. The culture is characterized by a strong connection to the sea, with fishing and navigation playing vital roles in daily life. Traditional crafts, such as weaving and carving, reflect the rich artistic heritage of the islands. Social structures in Micronesia often emphasize community and family ties, with extended families living together and sharing resources. Festivals and ceremonies, such as the Yap Stone Money tradition, highlight the importance of cultural heritage and communal identity.
