Description:In this session it is shown how fermented breadfruit is made which serves as a basis of many traditional Marquesan dishes (e.g. 'popoi'). It shows old and newer techniques of traditional maa-preparation. In former times, 'maa' "fermented breadfruit" was fermented and stored in large earth pits. In this documentation the fermentation and storage of breadfruit was undertaken in a recipient made out of plaited coconut leaves and banana leaves. The basic process of making fermented breadfruit remained to be the traditional way (process of ripening and peeling breadfruits etc.). In this session it was also documented how to plait coconut leaves generally explaining three different techniques used for different purposes. The documentary also depicts traditional tool-making made out of shells for peeling ripened breadfruits.
The project documents several different aspects of the Marquesan culture (legends, narratives, food preparation, plant medicine, fishing techniques, Marquesan trick languages, songs, dances etc.)
This file was generated from an IMDI 1.9 file and transformed to IMDI 3.0. The substructure of Genre is replaced by two elements named "Genre" and "SubGenre". The original content of Genre substructure was: Interactional = 'consultation', Discursive = 'procedure', Performance = 'Unspecified'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
Apart from the collectors, there were occasionally people present observing the filming. The filming took place over 2 days. On the second day the local school teacher came with her class to take the opportunity to show the children how fermented breadfruit used to be made. This outing turned out to be the hourly Marquesan lesson of the week. According to the curriculum lesson in Marquesan take places once or twice a week for maximally one hour.
