[00:13:33]>> [music] [music] [music] [music and singing] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> V C O K C O 2 way >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [singing] [music] [singing] [music] >> Before books, before records, [music] before our stories were written, they lived in the voices of the elders beside the [music] reef in Soles, carried by the wind, and remembered by the sea.

[00:16:52]They spoke of Marou of Terio, of Fakvoi, [music] of their daughters Tausia and Sau, and of the Hoi, >> [music] >> the stingray our people do not eat.

[00:17:06]These words were carried by Rotuman elders, written down in 1932 [music] by Gordon Macgregor, so the names would not be forgotten.

[00:17:17]>> [music] >> My father gave this story [singing] to [music] me.

[00:17:25]And though he is gone, his voice [music] still lives in mine.

[00:17:32]And now I sing it.

[00:17:35]So it lives on. [music] >> [music] >> Long before the church bells rang, before the [singing] island carried [music] foreign names, Saulteaux [music] stood beside [singing] the sea, where even sky ran wild and free. [music] Moonlight silver on the bay, coral sleeping under spray, [music] and through the deep beneath the sky moved the sacred Ho.

[00:18:15]>> [music] >> The elders spoke of Marrow Terrio, a name [music] the old [singing] mouth still may know.

[00:18:28]And [ __ ] boy standing [music] by the [singing] shore, where sea touched village evermore.

[00:18:35]The story [music] traveled with the tide, where memory and salt abide.

[00:18:42]And every wave returning [music] back still whispered Ho.

[00:18:52]And there were [music] daughters born in time, to young lives held within [singing] that line.

[00:18:59]Tausia, [music] spoken slow, and Sa, names the elders know.

[00:19:06]Their laughter [music] once filled Saulteaux sand, then sorrow moved across [music] the and grief fell heavy with the sky beside the hoi.

[00:19:23]The elders mourned [music] beside the sea and made a vow for memory.

[00:19:29]From that [music] day forward through the line, the hoi would never be their meat nor mine.

[00:19:37]>> [music] >> No spear would rise, no knife would fall, no fire [music] would claim it after all.

[00:19:44]For grief and honor stood [singing] nearby with [music] the sacred hoi.

[00:19:53]And when the fishermen cast the net and stingray rose among [music] the set, they cut the cords and set it free back to the deep [music] ancestral sea.

[00:20:07]For elders said if hoi survives, the ocean [music] blesses [singing] all their lives and fish return with morning light after the hoi.

[00:20:21]>> [music] >> Years passed on and voices changed, but the old name [singing] still remained. Then Gordon [music] McGregor came to hear and wrote the words the elders shared. [music] Not his story, but theirs to tell of grief and grief [singing] remembered [music] well, written down so time could not deny.

[00:20:47]>> [music] >> The story of hoi.

[00:20:52]My [music] father sat and spoke to me like tides speaking to the sea. He said, "My son, remember this. Some things are blood, some things [music] are gift.

[00:21:07]If ever the hoi should cross your way, you let it live, [music and singing] you turn away. Because our fathers kept this tide with the [music] sacred hoi.

[00:21:36]>> [music] >> Though now my father walks beyond, [music] his voice in me is still not gone. I hear him in the [singing] ocean [music] wind, in every wave that rolls back in. His stories live beneath [music] this sky. His memory moves with every tide. And when I sing, [music and singing] I hear him near, still beside me here.

[00:22:08]>> And now my children hear this, too.

[00:22:11]Maria, Raymond, I sing to you >> [music] >> what my father placed into my hands, I pass to you, like sea to sand.

[00:22:23]>> [music] >> If ever the hoi should cross your way, remember what our elders say. [music] With love and [singing] honor, let it be, and turn to the [music] sea.

[00:22:39]This story lives within our [music and singing] blood, through reef and wind and nation's flood.

[00:22:46]And as it [singing and music] came through him and me, may it live through your memory.

[00:22:56]>> [music] >> Marowak Teria, Fakowi, Tau Sia, Sa.

[00:23:04]Their names remain carried by the [music] sea of Salei, remembered by our elders, written by Gordon [clears throat] McGregor, given to me by my father, and now carried in my song.

[00:23:25]And one day Maria [music] and Raymond will carry it, too.

[00:23:32]So, the ho'i [music] and the story are never forgotten.

[00:23:38]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music and singing] [music] [music] [music] [singing] [music] [music] [music] [singing] [music] >> Mama se mu ka ni pe [music] au.
