palm leaf tied around their head, which we<br />
believed would provide protection from<br />
the crocodiles. Once at the lagoon, the<br />
traditional elder (lia nain) paid his respects to<br />
the natural spirits and ancestors and asked<br />
for permission to fish the lagoon. Then it<br />
was time to start fishing! We fished from one<br />
end of the lagoon to the other. First the men<br />
entered the shallows with their cast nets,<br />
followed by men, women and children with<br />
handheld nets; others carried large scoop<br />
nets which took two people to handle. On<br />
these days, everyone was happy. We caught<br />
fish, crabs, eels and shrimp – no-one went<br />
home with an empty basket.<br />
When my family caught lots of fish, we<br />
loved to make dotuwai hamudara (Nauoti<br />
language) or ikan saboko (fish baked in palm<br />
leaves). On the way home from the lagoon,<br />
we stopped to cut leaves from the sago<br />
palm, needed to wrap the fish. Back at the<br />
house, everyone would help prepare the<br />
ingredients, but my father was the best at<br />
selecting and cleaning the fish. Then, while<br />
waiting for the saboko to cook in the fire, we<br />
would prepare the rice, feed our animals,<br />
weave baskets and tell stories, surrounded<br />
by family love.<br />
