content: Travel footage shot it Tahiti. Although the donor stated that Joseph Ross had met and talked to a number of Tahitians, the footage is typical tourist footage. There are numerous shots of landscapes and individual Tahitans. The limited documentation of activities includes people working with plants and coconuts, dancing, and use of an outrigger boat.
