Ngaa’a Mutha “Eel Tail Catfish”, 2023
$2,600.00
My ancestors are the sea turtles. They went inland exploring. They came to a lagoon. There a school of eel tail catfish came swimming everywhere. The turtle saw them and could not go into the water because there were to many of them. He ran around the lagoon looking for a space to enter the water. He could not find one. Then he stood there and started to sing and dance. The fish swam in a different direction. Today we still performa the dance the way he taught us. It is a public dance everyone can take part.
