Description

The ceremonial killing of pigs in the Shepherd Is. was a matter of strict and precise protocol. The carcass of the pig was cut up according to fixed and exact procedure and the various cuts distributed in conformity with closely determined hierarchical precedence. Departure from the set pattern could be an insult with grave consequences. In this recording, the procedure is described. At the time of the recording, a pig was cut up in the prescribed way and photographs taken. The intention is that the visual material will be attached to the audio archive at some future time. Namakura language, Pakoasongi Parang.
