Title:Story of the ancient canoe from Hakau'i
story_canoe
The documentation of the Marquesan languages and culture in French Polynesia
Contributor:TB
GC
Contributor (consultant):Tau
Coverage:French Polynesia
Description:The project documents several different aspects of the Marquesan culture (legends, narratives, food preparation, plant medicine, fishing techniques, Marquesan trick languages, songs, dances etc.)
In this session the consultant narrates a little anecdote about the ancient canoe of Hakau'i also referring to the strength of the former Marquesan people. According to this anecdote Marquesan people were so strong that they could go back and forth to Ua Huka, a neighboring island of Nuku Hiva, before a breadfruit is cooked on the fire.
There were no other people present during the recording.
TB grew up on Nuku Hiva, but have been living on 'Ua Pou since she turned 17. TB is a fluent bilingual often engaging in French-Marquesan code-switching. In cultural indigenous matters TB was well educated by her father who was born in 1901 and who was very knowledgable about old Marquesan customs, songs, stories etc..
Tau only knows little French. He lives in Hakau'i where there is no electricity, in a small community of around 10 people. Tau used to work for the parish before his retirement.
GC is responsable for the Marquesan DOBES project and does all the data collection, data processing and annotation.
