Description:Several women from the village make the traditional dish runaway woman laplap (niyou watawax xıp), and describe the process. This dish is named for a woman who, according to folktale, escaped her husband and innovated a technique to make laplap on the run, using a basket with heated rocks.

This project is concerned with the documentation of Ninde, a threatened Central Malekula (Oceanic) language spoken in five villages in the South West Bay region of Malekula island of Vanuatu. Ninde is almost entirely undocumented; there is a sketch grammar based on data from one young speaker. The language is spoken by at most 1000 people, and in four of the five villages is not being transmitted to children. One of the immediate goals of this project is the community-led creation of an orthography and possibly even pedagogical materials in order to facilitate Ninde-language education and preserve traditional knowledge.
