Barbara Black filmed this event. Also present were Peter W. Black, David Tibbetts, Nixon’s mother Sisma Andrew, her sister Regina Andrew, and Sisma’s daughter, Carcia.

The story tells of a navigator named Manmeiyouh who found Helen Reef and brought news of its many fish and giant clams back to Tobi. The transcription and translation of this story by Peter W. Black is included here as tb27-04129-nab-2013-11-10.pdf.

Documenting Ramari Hatohobei (literally the Tobian language of Tobi), a severely endangered Micronesian language. Tobi is one of the Southwest Islands of the Republic of Palau, a Micronesian nation in the western Pacific. Severely endangered, Tobian is currently spoken by approximately 150 people. Tobian and the dialects of Sonsorol, Merir, and Pulo Anna, the other three Southwest Islands, are closely related to the languages spoken in the outer islands of Yap and Chuuk.
