Description
This story, told by Philip Tepahae, was recorded in Uje village by John Lynch. It was put into a hypercard stack for display by Nick Thieberger, and then into an online system (Eopas) and a video was made of that presentation. That is what is shown in this movie. The text of the movie is below. An Elan transcript of the wav file is also included here.
