Retelling the myth of how war and head-hunting began
This myth is about the beginning of war and the practice of head-hunting among men. In the beginning, man did not know the art of war. When sent for war men would go and play with the enemy and return. One day while returning from war, a woman who was weaving asked the men 'How was your warfare today'? 'We played in a river (with the enemy) today' replied the men. The woman was enraged on hearing this. She got up, took the weaving stick, and cut the head of a dog lying near her. She said to men in anger 'ants and bees are taking enemy's head. What are you men doing'? The next day men went to war again and returned with an enemy's head. The speaker has since passed away on 5 July 2017 at age 71.
