Q:
Pritchard, Michael Pritchard.
~:
We have been told by a number of people, that that diet which we used
called the Ujelang diet, was not an accurate diet, not a good one, and that
we should not rely upon that in this survey.
~:
It is for that reason that John Naidu and Ebby Crayhead participated
in this survey, to spend time living on various of the atolls and studying
the diet for us.
Q:
In fact John Naidu was in the northern Marshalls,
I believe, at
Rongelap and Utrik for about 6 months.
Marshallese:
I would like to correct that for your information.
I think
he was at Utrik only three days.
Q:
During the survey I think that is correct.
However, earlier, I don’t
know how long he was at Utrik but he was some months at least at Rongelap,
I believe.
I might, well, we don’t have Rongelap here.
Marshallese:
I lived there and I know that he was only on our island three
days.
~:
I understand.
I don’t question that.
But I do know that he lived in
a Marshall village, I believe it was either Rongelap or Utrik, and it must
of been, then, Rongelap for a number of months.
Marshallese
(probably from Utrik):
So is this figure, 0.56, that is in
this report, can I go back and say that that is inaccurate because Ted
Mitchell did it?
Robison:
No. No, that, that data...
