"Kaleku was his given name but he was also called Martin. I understand he is Martin Are who is still around [...]. His father (on the left in the picture) was Kuman Dai, Gumine Chief and head of the District Council. He has passed away. His grandfather (Kuman's father) was called Dai. You'll see him in some of the photos." (Peter Russell Kranz) [KK 15/08/2023]
