Description

During Kokokma's Wanbel for accusations of sorcery they killed 3 pigs. The pigs were not put in the pot and eaten though, instead they were cut up an pieces were presented to individuals, clans and leaders along with an apology and a handshake. I asked a few people why they meat wasn't included with the meal like it usually is in wanbels.

(we're following the government and so we need to give it fresh. Government is like that, and we're following it. They cut it. Government as in Habanel? Yes, Habanel, Welim. We'll give it to people fresh. Thinking came and so now we'll put talk and fresh meat and people will get a piece. In other wanbels you cook the meat in the pot today not? No not today. For the Church and mission we put it in the pot, after we give it. For government we give it fresh. You did bad and so to fix the hevi you give fresh pig? yes)

(we do wanbel in two ways. Sometimes we put it in a pot and give it and sometimes we cut the meat and give it fresh. So there's no thinking, or is there a reason you're giving it fresh? We lied and caused a hevi and so to finish this hevi we're giving it fresh. So you did bad and so the abagam bili has to be fresh? yes)
