content: Full film record of the Enga, a sedentary subsistence horticulturalist group of the Enga Province found west of Mount Hagen in Papua New Guinea. Footage documents a Sunday ritual gathering following Mass at Kasapu, a Catholic mission on the southern side of the Upper Lagaip Valley. A large group settles in a grassy area outside the church where people engage in conversation, singing, and card playing. Footage also includes storytelling by a committeeman of Lyanginatapu that illustrates a traditional Enga story-telling style.
