A nahs is a traditional Pohnpeian feast house.
Most families have a nahs.
In fact, in some ways the family nahs is the property of the village chief, or Nahnmwarki , with some parts remaining off-limits even to its owners. The nahs is a casual, breezy place that s generally detached from the walled-in main house. The dirt or stone floor is where families and friends sit, talk, work, eat and play. The raised platforms at either side are used for the preparation of food. Women and children peel vegetables, husk coconuts and cook on portable gas stoves.
