NOTES: |
An insightful investigation into the traditional culture and the spirit world of Pacific Islanders living on Lamotrek, this film focuses on the ancient Micronesian wisdom of song: specialized knowledge of art and magic involved with skills such as navigation, warfare, canoe building, fishing weather control, and weaving. As a result of increasing contact with the outside world, the traditional skills of song have been in steady decline but are not forgotten. |
