![]() To my Yali friends-Foliek, Sar, Dongla, Luliap, Yemu, Erariek, Latowen, Aralek, Suwi, Emeroho, Engehap, Kusaho, Nalimo, and others-for spellbinding data on Yali culture and history. ![]() In a few cases, gaps in the memory of my informants concerning certain persons or events have been filled with culturally typical material from other Yali persons or events. I have therefore taken some liberties in arranging these events in a chronological order, which enables readers to understand cultural significance more readily. The events in Part One, The Three-Rimmed World, are of course undated as narrated to me by Yali informants, since the Yali possessed no dating system. ![]() The names of some of the Yali characters in this book have been shortened or altered to make them easier to pronounce and remember. ![]()
