Origin and tradition

Degei traditions in Fiji’s Nakauvadra mountains.

Turukawa is the dove that wakes Degei in the morning. In the account recorded by Aubrey Parke, the shooting of the bird draws a series of places into the story. Stones mark where arrows were sharpened or where the travellers stepped. I’m Black Horse. Which stone would you remember if you heard the story without a map?
