The documentation of the Marquesan languages and culture in French Polynesia

Description:In this session we see how pandanus leaves are treated for all sorts of plaiting (mats, baskets, hats etc.). The whole process of preparing, i.e. drying and whitening the pandanus leaves is shown and explained in detail. It is not clear whether the use of pandanus leaves for plaiting traditionally belongs to the Marquesan material culture or whether it has been copied from other islands in the last decades. Linton (1923: 381) claims that pandanus leaves are not traditionally used in the Marquesan material culture.
The project documents several different aspects of the Marquesan culture (legends, narratives, food preparation, plant medicine, fishing techniques, Marquesan trick languages, songs, dances etc.)
During parts of the recording a French neighbour was present. Sometimes Mf's husband gives comments in the background.
GC is responsable for the Marquesan DOBES project and does all the data collection, data processing and annotation.
Mf was born and raised on Hiva 'Oa (=South Marquesas), but came to 'Ua Pou (=North Marquesas) at the age of 14 where she got married at the age of 15. Ever since she has lived on 'Ua Pou and mainly speaks the 'Ua Pou dialect. Mf is also a fluent speaker of French and engages a lot in French-Marquesan code-switching. She also has a good command of Tahitian because she lived there for nine years.
