Just like every other province has their own unique tales or legends or as we, Papua New Guineans call it, Tumbuna Stori, passed down from generation to generation and some of these tales have more than one version, depending on the village or Ples, you are hearing it from!
One of these tales, originates from Nobnob, the Didipa Clan in Madang Province, is the Legend Of Manub and Kulubob, the brothers who became enemies! According to the elders there, The brothers built a canoe and they wanted to bring it down stream. Kulubob was tasked with collecting giant leaves to build a damn, however, he did not do it correctly and the damn broke causing their canoe to sink. The brothers fought and Manub chased Kulubob, who went and settled down at now Nagada, and later to Karkar Island and Bagbag Island.
There are many tales of these Brothers that have been told and passed down from Elder to Elder. Below are pictures taken of their canoe which has now been turned to stone and fossilized.
A group led by Madang’s, Pamela Eugenio, visited the site while training for their Mount Whilem Climb for Cancer last month, to raise money for Madang General Hospital’s Cancer & Cardiac Unit.
Able Home & Office has been operating in Madang since 2007 and is one of the proud sponsors of the Mt Whilem Climb for Cancer.
I am very much interested in knowing the full story of this folklore. I am a passionate writer and I have written a screenplay for a folklore in the Milne Bay province; where I come from and have done a short film along with my crew.
This piece of writing is genuinely a pleasant one it assists new web visitors, who
are wishing for blogging.
Aw, this was a very nice post. Taking a few minutes
and actual effort to make a good article… but what can I
say… I hesitate a whole lot and don’t manage to get anything done.
I’ve been surfing on-line more than 3 hours these days, but I
by no means found any fascinating article like yours.
It is pretty price enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners
and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the web will be much more
helpful than ever before.
