| Description | A Wouncon, his wife, and his brother went to a "chupata" upriver. While eveyone was drunk, the Halpad came and killed everyone one by one. Only the woman was saved, who returned to the home of her in-laws and spread the news about the incident, so everyone went and killed him. Recorded between 1964 & 1966. Note: The same story appears in the resources NOA003R001I001; NOA003R051I001; and NOA003R193I001. [Note: The tape box says that the narrator is Audolino, but the voice doesn't appear to change from the previous recordings.] |
