Details
- Abstract / Summary
- Three pages, typed with occasional written amendments, list the 25 wives of Numakala, former paramount chief of Kiriwina seated in the village of Omarakana. The notes, written mostly in indigenous text with occasional English clarification, include information on clan and village relationships, and whether some are 'tokay,' or commoners, which Malinowski notes is 'quite a new fashion.'
