Okay, once again sorry about the barrage of information.

Dr. Poynor gave me a book which pretty much outlines everything we'd ever need to know - facepainting techniques, meanings, costume materials, headdress types, etc. It's pretty general info though, not too much on a specific tribe.

I think if we can say "this headdress is called a koi wal, and the dance we performed is the kanan" we won't need to base it off of a specific tribe. The two tribes mentioned in this book are the Ndika and the Kuli, but I haven't been able to find any specific information on them. Everyone, let me know your thoughts on this - we have to write an essay on the final with LOTS of NEW information - we can't just spit back what he's already taught us. Anyone found anything useful in the books that Zach lent out???

Second thing - Farrell found a passage in a book describing how in modern-day mokas, they give away modern objects such as cars and bikes. I think we could do this, as long as we explain it before the performance. We could have a narrator say: "We've chosen to juxtapose traditional costumes with a modern moka ceremony". VOTE YES OR NO NOW!!!!!!
