| Description: | In the legend of Kueenui, the "big eel", Kueenui, dwelling on Nuku Hiva in the river of Taipivai, meets Kueeiti, the "small eel" from Hanavave on Fatu Iva. After having tasted the food of Kueenui, Kueeiti suggests to go to Fatu Iva where there is much more delicious and nice smelling food. They leave for Fatu Iva. When arriving at Hanavave (Fatu Iva) Kueenui, actually quite large in size cannot swim up to Kueeiti's water hole. He gets stuck in the river bed and the water consequently does not flow down to the village of Hanavave anymore. Puzzled by this the Hanavave people go to have a look what is going on. They find the big eel and kill him. Kueeiti manages to escape to the sea. | |

| 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 = 'narrative'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information. | ||
| North Marquesan is the only language used in this session, also before and after the session. | ||
| Only Mi speaks during the session; neither the collctor nor Ly interact with him verbally. | ||
| 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. | ||
