Description

This series of six recordings details the significant points and stages in the life of a chief in the Shepherd Is. when customs were fully maintained. The first recording is a 'preliminary' discourse, covering the period prior to his birth - viz, customs relating to his parents' marriage. The other five recordings deal with the conventions, ceremonies and procedures that surrounded his birth, early life, preparations for his incumbency, accession to his title, conduct of his incumbency and ultimately, his death. The recordings are in Namakura language, rendered by Pakoasongi Parang, formerly Ti Tongoa Roto of Bongabonga, Tongoa.
