content: A sequence edited from footage shot in 1952-1953 documenting the ceremony of a
child's first haircut. !U, wife of Toma, cuts the hair of baby !Ungka Norna (named for
Lorna Marshall), assisted by her niece, N!ai, and other female relatives. A different
version of this sequence appears in the published title A Kalahari Family (2008.9,
Series 2). This sequence was considered for the MACOS (Man, A Course of Study) project; editing may have been
done under the direction of Lorna Marshall.
