Western District Fly River Area Authority.

Biographical notes:

The initiative for this booklet came from Papua New Guinea tertiary students who gathered for the 1974 Camp Sirinumu Vernacular Literacy Course. The Western District Fly River Area Authority provided the funding and services of a typist. Volunteer students of Daru High School spent their 1974 Christmas holiday collecting the material from direct interviews with their grandfathers or elders in their respective villages. Brother Philip Guimont of Daru Montfort Catholic Mission encouraged the project. Doris Bjorkman and Ramona Lucht of the Summer Institute of Linguistics corrected and edited the transcripts and made the translations.
