    Recorded/Rendered Creative Work
    Ken Sigrah speaks directly to prospective students in the 2006 UNSW Anthropology Fieldwork course about how to behave when they visit his island. He offers advice on common phrases, polite behaviour, and expected confusions that the students might encounter during their stay.
