Pwoan (Traditional Log Pulling Chant)
Description This chant is from Ifaluk Island and is sung when pulling heavy objects like logs. The chant portrays how men from the island went fishing and caught lots of fish for the whole island. It also talks about the knowledge passed on from the elders. The chant is sung by kids when they play on the beach in the evening. Some of these chants were composed for newborn babies to put them to sleep. They are called Arhiuwerhu Wen Fan Luneoyiun.
