Description

Coconut site: In old village of Ki. Very interesting example of a coconut planted as a part of a tab, as reconsiliation for a dispute involving sorcery accusations. A type of plant called saragao was planted along with the coconut (this is seen in the video) and is supposed to help heal the dispute; near the end of the video Drondro shows how the saragao would be twisted and chewed then spat onto the chests of the parties being reconciled. GPS location of coconut tree: 8 63026 S, 142 05181 E. Interviewer: Jimmy Nébni. Video recordist: Goi Dibod. This is a short interview made by the Seregu subcommittee of the Nen language committee, under Nick Evans' supervision. People present: Mary Dibod, Goi Dibod, Srgo, Songae, Doreen (newly joined), Zerus, Jimmy Nébni, MB.
