Description

Natalie and I went with Mongongongam down to the water to learn a few culture events at once. That was set up. When we got there, Saron and Angondi's daughter were already there. They were washing insides of a pig that was killed yesterday and also washing some pots and clothes. After the dishes and the laundry was done, Natalie washed her and Timon's face under the water. So Mongongam showed how she washes herself. She washed her legs and arms and hair with mud. She didn't dry off, just waited for her body to dry. -- had a sore on her leg which she also washed under the stream. Mongongam also washed Bebeline under the stream. She didn't use mud and the wash was really quick. A towel was used to dry her off.
