House-building: men construct frame, notched vertical posts, betel nut (areca) palm at left is taboo with coconut frond tied around it

This is the first house the Hutchins attempted to build. Soon after construction began, the land on which the house was sited came under litigation. The Hutchins then had to leave the village for nearly a month. They lived with an Australian expatriate fisherman and his family while they negotiated the use of a different plot of land, and built a new house.
