Description:Roughly 15 minute long video recording with ripped audio file and time-aligned transcription and translation. In this video Michaela Kupwai tells the story of 40 flying foxes with human wives. Recorded inside Jessica's house, with speaker(s) facing the beach, Awe to their left, village to their right, and the road behind them. Front door is behind them, other room to their left, and window in front of them. Present: Jessica and Michaela Kupwai. Sylvia Pokisel is there for the first half. Some plane noise in the background.
Ingela is her nickname (a Tok Pisin pronunciation of Michaela). Michaela lives in Papitalai, but I'm not sure where she was born. She is fluent in Koro and Tok Pisin. I estimated her year of birth.
Her village name is Hilondelis, which can be parsed as hi- 'female name prefix', lo- 'leaf', ndelis 'tropical almond'. This was the name of her paternal great-grandmother. Her father is Philip Pokisel and her paternal grandparents are Kris Pokisel and Maria Pokisel. Her siblings are Francis, Geoffrey, Lomot, and Siwa. Her children are Adrien and Philson and her husband is Steven Paura. Sylvia's late mother was from Ponam, and so she grew up with Ponam as her first language, although she grew up in Papitalai. Tok Pisin is also her first language, and her language of everyday communication. She learnt English at school and is fluent.
