- Title : The legend of Keikahanui
- Date : 1995-10-30
-
- Description : This is the legend of Keikahanui, a warrior from Nuku Hiva. Keikahanui was originally from the valley of Hatihe'u belonging to the Taipi tribe. Keikahanui's wife comes from the valley of Hakaui inhabitated by the Tei'i tribe which is in constant warfare with the Taipi tribe. Keikahanui's wife is the sister of a warrior of Hakaui. They live near Hakau'i. In this version, his brother-in-law tells Keikahanui one day that they are going to war with the Taipi at Hatihe'u. The Hakau'i people leave for Hatihe'u, and shortly after leaving, Keikahanui is on his way to Hatihe'u, taking shortcuts through the mountains, to warn his people about the planned attack on Hatihe'u by the Hakau'i warriors. Keikahanui fights the battle with his people who win over the Hakau'i. After the battle Keikahanui rushes back to Hakau'i in order not to be discovered by the Hakau'i. After his return to Hakau'i Keikahanui gets sea urchins from the reef and puts it on his body/leg; the sea urchins quickly start to develop a very unpleasant smell and he pretends to have been ill. In this version, the narrator does not know precisely what had happened to Keikahanui in the end. He tells us that his brother-in-law recognised him during the battle at Hatihe'u, but the narrator thinks that he fled with his wife to Hatihe'u and lived there till the end of his days.

- Description : North Marquesan is spoken on the north-western part of the Marquesan archipelago in French Polynesia; MRQ is an Oceanic language of the Austronesian language family. Within the Eastern Oceanic branch MRQ belongs to the Proto-Central-Eastern subgroup of Proto-Eastern Polynesian (Pawley 1966; Green 1966). MRQ is most closely related to South Marquesan (QMS), Hawaiían and Mangarevan forming the Proto Marquesic subgroup which is distinct from Proto Tahitic (e.g. Tahitian, Rarotongan, Tuamotuan). The Marquesan speech community is bilingual (French-Marquesan); French is the language of instruction in schools. Both Marquesan languages are highly endangered languages because parents and caretakers cease to transmit the indigenous languages to their children. In the most urbanised areas of the Marquesas (Taiohaé, Hakahau, Atuona) where approximately 70 % of the population of the archipelago lives, most children under age 15 have acquired French as their first language.

- Description : French is the only official language of French Polynesia and also the language used in public life (administration, public schools and media). Only very few older Marquesans (60+) who live in remoter parts of the Marquesas are not familiar with French. In the more urbanised areas of the Marquesas (Taiohae (Nuku Hiva), Hakahau (Ua Pou) and Atuona (Hiva Oa)) most children under age 15 learn French as a first language at home.

-
- Description : Tahitian is mastered by a number of Marquesans because many Marquesans spend several years on Tahiti in the search for salary labour. There are a number of Tahitian loanwords in the Marquesan languages. Tahitian is the only Polynesian language of French Polynesia which is broadcasted on TV (news and talkshows) and it is required when looking for jobs in the administrative sector. Marquesan protestants (around 10 % of the population) use Tahitian as their church language (Bible, prayers, songs, sunday school). The Bible was already translated into Tahitian in the 19th century, and protestants always had the tradition of using the Tahitian instead of the French Bible in their services.
