Title: How Ahamb was settled (partial)

Description: Pita Vanbir tells the story of how Ahamb was settled. Two brothers, Rörngal and Vetbang, were born out of a giant clam, which lived close to Ahamb and was spitting water high into the air. They come to Ahamb and go on to settle different parts of the island. There are multiple versions of this story and each one is somewhat controversial as it can be used as evidence in land claim cases. Pita doesn't tell the full story that he knows. He specifically says he tells a version that he knows from his father. This story was recorded during a public meeting where everyone agreed for it to be recorded, since everyone seems to agree about the facts that are presented here.
