Description:This is a story and sand drawing of Tengweli. Tengweli had an affair with his brother's wife. She had a tattoo and he went and drew that tattoo on the ground after he left her. His brother came and saw the drawing and knew someone had been with his wife so he called together the village and discovered it was his brother. He took him to his garden and he killed him. A few days later he took his wife there and forced her to dig up his dead brother and eat him. She ate him and ran away and pretended to throw herself off a cliff. Her husband was distraught and threw himself off the cliff. She then came home and threw up the dead brother who came back to life. File Description: This bundle contains an audio, video and PDF of the original fieldnotes.
