Title:Song text of Vakauhi legend
Vakauhi-Ho
The documentation of the Marquesan languages and culture in French Polynesia
Contributor:GC
Contributor (consultant):Ho
Coverage:French Polynesia
Description:In this session we hear the song text of the Vakauhi legend. The song text refers to that part of the Vakauhi legend in which Vakauhi repeatedly tries to build a canoe with a tree trunc without paying respect to the tuhukas (master of a certain craft) and gods. Each morning when Vakauhi returns to the half-built canoe the wood re-erected itself as a tree. Only when he shows proper respect he succeeds in terminating the construction of his canoe.
The project documents several different aspects of the Marquesan culture (legends, narratives, food preparation, plant medicine, fishing techniques, Marquesan trick languages, songs, dances etc.)
GC is responsable for the Marquesan DOBES project and does all the data collection, data processing and annotation.
Ho does not speak French, but a little Tahitian. There are a number of Tahitian loan words in her speech.
