Title |
Imanangay mamgoy ‘An Imanmeri figure’ |
Description |
When a girl first showed this string figure, all the bystanders scolded her, saying that that was not an Awiakay figure. They eventually agreed for her to make this figure, but on the condition that I ‘write in the book’ that this string figure is an Imanmeri one.
Like myths and songs, string figures, too belong to different groups. While it does not matter which totemic clan the string figure-maker belongs to, as long as the string figure is considered Awiakay, every Awiakay person can make it. In the case of the two figures representing dogs (70, 71), which come from Asangamut, it was an Asangamut woman who is married into Kanjimei who first showed them. In case of this figure from Imanmeri, it was a girl whose father was from Imanmeri who made this figure for the recording.
