This is an interview (with basic questions/prompts asked by the project lead Dr. Kristine Hildebrandt in an admittedly bad mix of Nepali & Gurung). The main speaker is Mr. Dili Jung Tamu (Gurung), a native resident of Nace village, Manang District Nepal. Nr. Tamu is a mother-tongue speaker of Gurung, and also a local historian and expert on matters related to lower Manang Gurung communities. He provides some history of the founding of Nace (and surrounding villages), as well as some descriptive commentary of the local surrounds. This video was recorded on July 27 2012 in Nace village. The video was recorded by Dr. Shunfu Hu. The sub-titles were added by Cassidy Jacobson using Microsoft Video Editor.
