Description:Bong Ranli tells the story of his family origins. He talks about when the God Barrkolkol came to Ambrym and created all the villages. But when he came to Haworr he found a female tree spirit and a boy already living there. These are Bong Ranli's ancestors. Generations later one boy started rubbing sticks and created fire for the first time which always stayed lit in the nakamal. One day the fire turned into lightning and making earthquakes. The fire landed on a banana tree and they took it and planted it in another village, but it kept making noise and they moved it again until it was in the middle of the island and hung it on a devil nettle tree which became the volcano Marum Liglarr. File Description: This bundle contains audio, video and a PDF of the FLEX export. The PDF is glossed and translated into English and Bislama.
