Title Nä language stories of the Tongari
Description Singai Suku tells story of the Tongari (= Tugere, =Marind) attacking the area. Superb story-telling, high priority for transcription. Unfortunately we only got an audio recording of this, because rich gestures dramatised the story, but Chris Healy video-recorded an English version right after this.

Made by Nick Evans at Tais, Morehead District
