| Description: | This bundle contains a copy of Kirk Huffman's ethnographic recordings which he made while director of the Vanuatu Cultural Centre in 1984. This recording is a copy of the original held in the National Film and Sound Unit in Port Vila. The recording is in three parts. KH1_1 and KH1_2 is the recording of a double nimangki ceremony (Mage in North Ambrym langauge), which is part of the introduced male graded society originating from Malakula. This was recorded in Fanla and features the grade of 'mage ne hivir' (rainbow lorikeet) taken by Bong Mweleun and Mage Kon. It also features a speech from Chief Tofor, where he paces up and down while speaking, which is a specific speech style called 'hali'. The tree fern carving is now part of the Cultural Centres collection in Port Vila. KH1_3 features several clips from Ranon and Bogor villages. The initial thirty seconds is of the ceremony described above. There is filimg of the Ranon village, of many tree fern carvings which are to be exported for sale (00:30-04:30). Then there is fiming at Ranon primary school (04:30-06:40). Then filming in the village of Ranon, where the former plantation owner lived, the co-operative store, and the Presbyterian church (04:30-12:12). Then, still in Ranon, he visits Solomon who is cutting an 'atata' or pig-killing club, before showing off the rest of his traditional carvings before going to his garden to plant a yam (12:12-25:20). Then on the beach in Ranon, Bong Ranli plays the bamboo flute – the song of the rat and a song for when people are getting ready for a celebration (25:20-29:28). Then there is small filming at Magam village where a man, originally from Dip Point (West Ambrym) talks about his slit-drum (25:20-31:21). Then, there is filimg at the nasara in Bogor village, where Gilbert Bangror discusses the nimanki ceremony that had recently taken place there (Sagaran and Wurwur grades) (31:21-43:33). Finally, a small clip while Kirk is on the speedboat returning to West Ambrym (43:33-46:28). The videos in this bundle have been kindly allowed to be archived by Kirk Huffman.
