Title: The Hat of the Priest (Hütrü kefsü)

Description: Bundles numbers 1715 - 1721 contain storie and, cultural narratives by and conversations with Miali Sidisow, currently the Cultural Secretary of the Hrusso Aka Tribe. In Bundles 1715 and 1717 he narrates two stories to Mareena Sangcho, his clan-neice: 'The story of Shapse Ĝüñow' and 'How dry fish became elephant' respectively. Both are semi-mythological traditional stories narrated especially to children by parents, grandparents or village elders. 1716 is the migration story of the Druã clan. In 1718 he explains the significance and contents of the Traditional priest's hat. In 1719 he lists Hrusso Aka names of months and what activities are undertaken in which month. His son Tachin joins Mareena as a listener and interlocuter in these two videos. In 1721 his wife, Api Sidisow joins him for a reminiscing biographical conversation, and a song. Miali is known for his creative narration of stories and is knowledgeable not only of Hrusso Aka mythology, but also of other traditions like the Indian Puranic stories.Video: Redorded with Canon XA20, settings - Auto.Audio: Very noisy surroundings in Miali Sidisow's house at Upper Bhalukpong.Micropones: Audio Technica 803B lavalier omnidirectional condenser microphones - 2, one for each stereo channel, both attached to speaker's collar.Audio recorded directly on Canon XA20 video camera using XLR inputs and extracted later using Any Video Coverter software.
