Description:The speaker begins by giving a brief history of the migration of his family. He then explains how boys were initiated, secured and provided for their homes. He also explains the activities that were carried out before a girl got married. He illustrates the importance of maintaining one's territory. He elaborates how they used traditional medicines prepared for famine. He also states that the white man came to build homes and cultivate their farms. He concludes by saying that many trees were cut, the once hunted wild animals are no longer there and so they rely on their farms
