The Legend of Mt Yasur - The Yasuri, meaning "the tribes of Yasur" is located within 1 hours walk to the Yasur Volcano. The history originated from the time of Yasur who was the Chief of the Yasur Tribes in the late 1700s. At the time he and the tribe lived in West Lenakel and during this period of time his tribe migrated from West Tanna to East Tanna where they resided for one year and from that village he formed the village now named Yasur Mene. After leaving South Tanna he migrated to East Tanna, where he lived for four months, he lived in a cave that is now named 'Pang Kasawa' Caves. When he stretched out his hands he realised the ocean and salt water was a long way away and the mountains were closer so he decided to live closer to the ocean. When he was walking towards the ocean he met with two ladies named Sapa and Monga. These ladies were making lap lap (a national dish of Vanuatu made from ground manioc). Now the Chief pretended that he was very cold and he asked the two ladies if he could warm himself in the fire, they agreed and he then turned into a pig and started to sink into the ground, Sapa and Monga tried to rescue him and they all sank together into the ground. They then both married Chief Yasur and later on gave birth to two of his children named Kueiuahi and Kashieren. To this day they have all made Mt Yasur Volcano their home.
