Recordist's notes
Chiefteness Mwenda was a baby girl of three at the time of the forced removal; but her father came from the valley, and the memory of the forced removal and resettlement of the Tonga people and, of the Tonga culture and tradition was very much present in the family when Eli Mwiinga was growing up... in this part of the interview, i encourage Chiefteness Mwenda to tell us a little more what the presence of this history means to her... the entire interview with the Chiefteness is archived here: https://archive.org/details/ChieftenessMwendaChikankata
