The strongest version of this site is not a site about the clan; it is the place where the clan keeps its record. Send a memory, a paper, a photograph or a correction.
Before you send something
- Consent first, in the speaker's own language: what the recording is for; whether it goes on the public web, into a restricted archive, or stays with the family; whether the speaker's name is used; and how to withdraw it later.
- Names, dates and places. “My grandfather” becomes evidence when it becomes “my grandfather, [name], born about [year] at [village]”.
- Mundhum recitation and the knowledge of ritual specialists may be restricted to initiated practitioners. Ask whether a passage may be published, and accept no for an answer — the restricted tier exists for this.
- Give a copy back to the family, always, before anything is published.
