Description:In this session the consultant talks about an old woman from Hatihe'u (Nuku Hiva) called Upokoniu. This old woman is inhabitated by a so-called "veinehae", an errant spirit. It is the errant spirit of her grandson who died at the age of 7. The consultant recount what she was told by two other old people who were related to that old woman called Upokoniu.
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 people present during the recording.
TB grew up on Nuku Hiva, but have been living on 'Ua Pou since she turned 17. TB is a fluent bilingual often engaging in French-Marquesan code-switching. In cultural indigenous matters TB was well educated by her father who was born in 1901 and who was very knowledgable about old Marquesan customs, songs, stories etc..
GC is responsable for the Marquesan DOBES project and does all the data collection, data processing and annotation.
