The recordings which can be accessed on the following pages have been made by a member of each of the four tribes in their own community. They have selected the villages, families and individuals whose stories are told in the recordings.

This work builds on many, smaller-scale, cultural identity initiatives of the tribal community who have long sought realistic and sustainable ways of ensuring that their young people understand, enjoy and value their heritage at a time when they no longer live independently but study and work alongside the mainstream, interacting on a daily basis with, and impacted by, the powerful culture of the dominant majority locally and nationally.
