GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Title: Waikna Sangni/Mairin Blu (Green Man/Blue Woman) 2. Project Team Creator: Laura Hobson Herlihy (laly@ku.edu) Contributors, Part 1: Nelson Scott, Tefani Tomas, Jefferson “Wawa” Hodgson Contributors, Part 2: Chelmor Calderon, Apner Marquez, Tony Miller, Aiwan Tomas, Luter Tomas, Pedro Velasquez, Gus “Oso” MacDonald, Leo Dhube, Noel Valladares Translator: Marlon Casanova Dalvez KU Libraries Project Assistant: Josh Bolick KU Libraries Digital Initiatives Coordinator (KU ScholarWorks): Marianne Reed 3. Project Overview This project was initiated to develop new content for teaching the Miskitu language. Herlihy wrote a story in simple short sentences, divided it into poems and hired Miskitu singer-musicians to produce and record the poems as songs. Green Man/Blue Woman Part One is for intermediate level Miskitu language learners. Green Man/Blue Woman Part Two is for advanced level. Students learn by transcribing the songs in Miskitu, translating the songs from Miskitu to English or Spanish, and listening along for pronunciation, tone, and cadence. The project is important because the original score of Green Man/Blue Woman has helped to revitalize the Miskitu language. In 2015 the songs started being played on the radio in the Bilwi, the capitol of the North Caribbean Autonomous Region, leading eventually to the establishment of a radio show called Green Man/Blue Woman. Miskitu people have taken more pride in their language due to an outsider-foreigner writing songs in their language and broadcast in Miskitu. A body of Miskitu songs produced about a common theme or storyline has never been produced before. Plot: An anthropologist takes a mystical journey in the Central American rainforest and meets a Miskitu Indian Chief, who conspires with a shaman to bewitch her into becoming his First Lady. The story involves love magic, politics, and cultural exchange. This project was funded by KU Libraries’ Parent’s Campaign with support from the David Shulenburger Office of Scholarly Communication & Copyright and Open Educational Resources Working Group in the University of Kansas Libraries. 4.
