Description:Friday July 15 2005. Naa at Kîmbêp:uu. This exchange of shell money was for a marriage. More or less complete record in these 2 tapes (r05_v2, r05_v3 and r05_v4_s1). Nothing much transcribable. Aaron Mboo’s brother Mathew Têpa paying his brideprice. Bride Kêmêti from Wulnga. Seemed complex. The bride’s father was from Wulanga and married to a Damenuwo woman. P:uum people had helped him marry, and now expected payback on his first D’s marriage (note the one generation delay). Consequently there were 3 groups of recipients of kêndap: Damenuwo people, Wulanga people, and P:uum people. East point heavily involved in the giving, because ‘N:ambwa (groom’s F) married an East point – therefore the grooms MBs like Fabian were there. Altogether 1993 ndap given, and two kê strings, following West end custom: a short one called ndoko kê as well as the main one (in the West the kê given first, but here the ndap first). Yidika’s Nkwodo clan would have had a claim, because the father of the bride is Nkwodo – they will get their chance on the second daughter. After the ndap are given, the kê is kept back, placed on basket of yams. Then the grooms’ side have vast amounts of food distributed to them according to the shells they have contributed. The bride’s side get no food, and just watch the distribution! But no-one really eats there, they disperse, heavily laden with their food – sago balls, bananas, mumued sago and yam, and the traditional kwee nuts special to marriage naa. No sound until 00:06:02:00. Continues into session r05_v3 and r05_v4_s1.
Ongoing documentation project, 1995 onwards.
