I notice during the first hour that only a few people are working. Most boys and men of the morung went home for breakfast after the old house had been pulled down. Now they slowly appear again on the building site. Again the spirit of the entire task is Yongwei (Yanahu), a man who always wears boars' tusks in his ears and takes the lead on every such occasion. He also is supposed to be one of the most knowledgable men concerning songs and old traditions. Wherever there is a difficult task like dragging in and setting up the posts |
