Description:This is the story of Here, the last man eaten on Nuku Hiva island. Here, a man from the Hapa'a valley (Nuku Hiva, near Taipivai), went to Anaho (northern coast of Nuku Hiva) to get some medicine. There he was taken by surprise and eaten by the people of Anaho and Hatiheu.
The project documents several different aspects of the Marquesan culture (legends, narratives, food preparation, plant medicine, fishing techniques, Marquesan trick languages, songs, dances etc.)
This file was generated from an IMDI 1.9 file and transformed to IMDI 3.0. The substructure of Genre is replaced by two elements named "Genre" and "SubGenre". The original content of Genre substructure was: Interactional = 'Unspecified', Discursive = 'Unspecified', Performance = 'historical-narrative'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
North Marquesan was the only language used during the session, also before and after recording.
Mi was the only participant in the session. The collector does not appear in the session; there was one observer (Ly) present who does not appear in the session either.
Mi was born in 1930 and grew up on the island of Nuku Hiva in Ho'oumi with his adoptive father Moa (born in 1901). Mi does not speak French and did not go to school; however, he is not illiterate. Mi is one of the few persons on the Marquesas islands who have a considerable knowledge of the former Marquesan culture, in particular of songs, legends/narratives and dances. He is also one of the few people who can speak Marquesan trick languages fluently. Most of his cultural knowledge was transmitted by his adoptive father.
Ly accomanied me once to a consultant. She was my host during my stay on Nuku Hiva (in 2003) and she is the daughter of Tam and Maf.
