Abstract
The paper examines the metaphors and dynamics of Atsabe Kemak group identity construction, with a strong emphasis on local cultural `remembering' of Atsabe history via-a-vis relations of power. The analysis utilizes the analytical frameworks of Foucault's notion of discourse and Bourdieu's concept of habitus. The secondary burial of a former chieftain highlights the dynamics of Atsabe Kemak responses to new nation-building processes and to international influences that have appeared during the United Nations' transitional administration.
