Singai Suku tells story of the Tongari (= Tugere, =Marind) attacking the area. Superb story-telling, high priority for transcription. Unfortunately we only got an audio recording of this, because rich gestures dramatised the story, but Chris Healy video-recorded an English version right after this.

Description
Re-performance of welcome dance. (This had been performed in a slightly different manner the day before as we entered the village – on that occasion including 3 women in mock threats to shoot us with their bows, and another woman in a garish Balinese-style death mask obtained from Boigu Island – but since we had not filmed that welcome, being too busy experiencing and responding to it, people decided to restage it the following evening and avail themselves of the chance to improve their costumes from the day before). This was the first phase of the welcome dance, held near the point where we enter the village.

Description
Welcome dance leaves little yard area, and proceeds along the main way through the village, roughly eastwards. Unfortunately the battery ran out at this point, so I was unable to film the transition where we passed under a ritual gateway near the oval and community centre – at that point the traditional dancing ceased and on the far side of the ritual gateway were people singing Christian songs of welcome. Approaching the gateway the two very different musical styles mingled. Chris Healey managed to film this part on his camera so that segment is captured there.
