Gita was born in Korogo Village and began to carve when he was fifteen, learning from his father and other carvers in the village. Korogo village has a splendid Haus Tambaran and a strong ceremonial life, and Gita was commissioned by the elders to carve the finials for the roof. As a senior carver in the village Kaua teaches many of the young boys to carve. His work has been exhibited in Australia, Canada and the United States.
