Description:Hao Cakeo speaks about yam cultures and the language, noting that we must do our best to preserve the cultural heritage left by the elders. Yam has seasons which must be known, and it is eaten around Easter. But because some eat it before, some after, society struggles to stay unified. White people go to school, we do not. The language is mixed now, French we understand, Vamale however... We're good at kava drinking!
Kito is the clan's messenger He lives in Sinema, where a mother died at childbirth and haunted the tribe to find the child she wasn't buried with. Opening the tomb and giving her a baby bottle solved the problem. Kito used to be a construction worker but broke his arm badly in a car accident and since 2017, he operates the gas pump at the local Shell station. Likes kava and jokes, famous for his hunting dogs and his beautiful wife
Dui has a central role in tribal life. Working for the mayor's office on all cultural activities in the commune, he is intimately acquainted with customary affairs and politics. Founder of the football club AS Watiwe (Wanache, Tiouandé, We Hava), language activist, highly respected man. He hosted me.
