Video Transcript

"Now, this is the beginning of this Madal Unok dance where the dancer brushes her feet into the ground, trying to ask permission from Mother Earth to stamp on it. And then she will continue dancing, using the Malong as her wings. And then again, and then go on, go around. Now she's trying to fly and now when she's going to be attacked by the hunter, she's going to use the movement called Kuda. Kuda is actually used usually by male in their dances. But in this particular dance, where the bird becomes a warrior, (continue dancing), becomes a warrior, the Kuda, (try to dance the Kuda), becomes a warrior fighting the hunter."
