Description:This is a recording of the Kwafar myth. It describes the original founding myth shared by many of peoples in the Morehead District. It involves two brothers who fight against some kind of being. The two brothers are different. One is pale-skinned and owns a shootgun. The other brother is dark-skinned and owns a bow. The latter finally shoots the being in the armpit and water comes gushing out. The white-skinned brother runs south and the dark-skinned brother runs north. After many miles of running the dark-skinned brother takes branches of ntöntö and stops the rising water by beating on it. Then he walks further north and settles the are. Here the story diverges according who is telling it and where it is being told. recorded with a Marantz PMD 661 and a Rode NT4 microphone and a Sony HDR HC-1 videocamera.
This project focuses on collecting multimedia documentation of two undescribed Papuan languages of the Morehead-Maro family: Nen (Nambu subgroup) and Kómnzo (Tonda subgroup).
