Summary

Description
English: Magieduruge Ibrahim Didi. The most learned man in Fua Mulaku and my "protector" and father figure. He taught me to read and write Arabic, ever insisting in the importance good calligraphy. Ibrahim Didi stood up to Thor Heyerdahl when the Norwegian explorer visited Fua Mulaku. In front of the translators he demanded to know why such an important visitor from Norway would be more willing to listen to silly things (hus vede) rather than to the sound oral traditions of the island. Then Ibrahim Didi asked some of the old men gathered in the Atoll office verandah for the occasion to stop telling unsound things just to please the foreigner. When the talkative old men fell silent Thor Heyerdahl misinterpreted the situation and humiliated Ibrahim Didi by requesting him to leave. The picture was taken at his home in Fua Mulaku. Picture negative damaged by the high humidity and fungus on the island.
