Description: | This is a short narrative of Poumaka, an old Marquesan legend which tells us about the fights between the most gigantic mountains of each island. The legend centers around Poumaka who is one of the gigantic mountains of Ua Pou provoking a fight with Matafenua, the gigantic mountain of Hiva 'Oa who was undefeated until then. In a dramatic fight the young and handicapped Poumaka, however, defeats Matafenua. The legend is meant to give an explanation of the rugged and steep cliffs of the Marquesas: the violent fights between the mountains causing break away land masses and form the rugged coast line. | |
The project documents several different aspects of the Marquesan culture (legends, narratives, food preparation, plant medicine, fishing techniques, Marquesan trick languages, songs, dances etc.) | ||
