A história, como Octavio Silva conta

Do lugar

• North Clearing Hold was laid out by Octavio Silva, who marked the low knoll first and set the longhouse to face out of the prevailing weather.

Do povo

• They keep a dry stack of fuel beside the longhouse and share the first meal at the hearth with any traveller who crosses the low knoll. (heard when a people lives here)
• Before winter sets in they check the lashings and stones of the watch post and sing the names of the first four who came. (heard when a people lives here)
