A Village: Mba'a

*we felt they didn't know how to respect things - Jenn wouldn't let the kids take her magazines out of the house because they tore them up

sacrifices to river gods

she tries to understand their animistic beliefs so she can work with them

time (*island time)

*Niarofolo language - chang is sun and day; in Tetun loron is sun and day

market, language errors (hat, hat)

tractor - *Elvis' tractor, he rented out services

pg 75: "One would have to be blind to assume that a man becomes faithful just because he has two wives waiting for him at home instead of one." - that doesn't make sense...blind?
