| Description: | English: Benjamin Tofor tells the history of how yams came to Ambrym. The people of Pentecost brought them. He talks about Koran the man who has the right to eat the first yam and how he is able to make the coastline taboo for collecting shellfish and fishing during the yam season. He explains the different customs surrounding the yam. He then continues with the story of how Captain Cook came and anchored of of Fonaa village and brought oranges as gifts for the people. The old men of Ambrym reciprocated and gave yams to Captain Cook and they said am rrem 'your yams' which Captain cook thought was the name of the island, that is why the island is called Ambrym. Linguistically there is an interesting usage of the words for left and right whic can mean anticlockwise and clockwise around the island.
