Girl Taking Rank at David Tari's Hungwe

At the same time as David Tarivohe is killing pigs, a young girl is taking her first rank 'moli.' It is common for a child of either sex, often a son or daughter of the rank-taker, to take one of the lower, preliminary ranks of the 'hungwe' at the same time as their parent takes a higher rank.
