O valor do conceito de maternidade é geralmente diminuído, assim como a noção de vínculo biológico entre mãe e filho. O foco materno passa da mulher que pariu a criança para a mulher que a cria, um papel frequentemente assumido pelas avós, quem geralmente são chamadas de ‘mães’. A relação familiar é encarada como um estado potencial, determinado não só pelos vínculos sanguíneos, mas por ações cons- tantes de amor e carinho. A memória do carinho recebido perpetua as relações e determina os laços de parentesco, por outro lado, a falta de afeto e carinho pode invalidar esses laços. A paternidade depende exclusivamente do reconhecimento público por parte do homem.

The growing importance of electronic apparatuses, and material items perceived as modern, coexists with a strong attachment to tradition in lifestyle, religious beliefs, and practices. Growing participation in the market economy, state benefits granted to indigenous people, and increased cash circulation have contributed to a change in people's values, and desires for, modern, store-bought goods. The article illustrates that the ability to buy, own, and display modern items is a response to the need to feel part of the wider society from which this rural community has for a long time felt excluded. This highlights the tension—often expressed in ethnic terms—between island, epitomizing tradition, and town, symbolizing modernity.
