Tokaakia2-TU
The documentation of the Marquesan languages and culture in French Polynesia
Contributor:TU

Pr
Coverage:French Polynesia
Date:2003-09-01
Description:This session contains the legend of Tokaakia, how he gets to Havaiki, disrespects nature and his subsequent punishment by the elements of nature. The language is charged with symbolism.
The project documents several different aspects of the Marquesan culture (legends, narratives, food preparation, plant medicine, fishing techniques, Marquesan trick languages, songs, dances etc.)
There were no other persons present except the researcher and field assistant.
TU speaks almost no French. TU is very knowledgable concerning old Marquesan legends and culture which she learnt from her adoptive father. With 92 years her memory was not accessible spontanously, but her grandson (Pr) who was the co-collector in all recordings with her led the conversation and helped her to get on the right track when in particular when narrating legends.
GC is responsable for the Marquesan DOBES project and does all the data collection, data processing and annotation.
Pr is the consultant's grandson to whom all her knowledge was exclusively transmitted. Due to his background knowledge he often gives his grandmother hints not to break up the flow of narration.
