Salina Tajang, 22 of Uma Ukit
Previously when you were in trouble, everyone could help you. Here,
one has to look after one's own affairs. You and yourself. Me and
myself. We don't have the money to care for everyone.
In the old place, if you got hold of a wild boar, everyone in the
long house would get to taste it. Now, if your neighbour manages to
catch a fish, you can only hope to smell. Over here, even fights have
taken place. We can't sit and eat together with neighbours. Many times
we had to eat rice with salt and ajinomoto. If there is no rice, I
will have to find tuber instead. |
