Born around
1914,
Letigireng is one of the oldest persons living on Satawal. Having
lost none of her facilities, she still remembers the many songs
composed
for her famous navigator brothers: Urupiy,
Repunglap,
Repunglug, and Rapwi. She
knows everything they know about navigating
but being a woman has not captained any canoes. She "holds"
navigational knowledge for them and her extended family's kinfolk,
occasionally
participating in discussions of star courses—if navigational errors
have
taken place— after a voyage has been completed.
