One of the men in the village next to us has made a tiny museum or cultural center with lots of artifacts from the area. There are clay pots, bows and arrows, spears, wooden dishes, head dresses, and garamuts. A garamut is a long tree trunk that they hollow out with a little cut at the top. Then they hit the side of it with a stick and you can hear it miles away! They used to use that as a “mobile phone system” before. Each person has a specific pattern or rhythm as a name and when someone beats that pattern it means come home or if the person is already home it means they have died.
