Description:Ku Rgyamtsho tells about the origin of humankind from two brothers: how they started to raise animals and grow crops. He then relates the sheep story and talks about the importance of the sheep for Prinmi culture.
This man had learned all the rituals as the assistant of a priest@ who since passed away. While priests rely on the scriptures which they read during rituals@ helpers should know the rituals by heart and rely on their memory@ since they are expected to hand the priest the correct paraphernalia at the correct times and conduct appropriate movements accompanying the rituals. Thus@ this helper could recite rituals from memory.
Henriette is the primary researcher of this language documentation project. She filmed this session and took the photographs.
Pincuo is documenting his own language in this language documentation project. He was the interviewer in this recording.
