As the tape was recorded with two different speeds, it could have been recorded at two different localities and occasions. Herman Peters was first stationed among the Amungmè in the Tsingga and Noemba valley 1957-1959 and then transferred to the Baliem valley from 1959 to 1964. The interviews could be from the Baliem Valley, while the songs and the sermons could be from the Amungmè. See “De eerste vestiging van de katholieke missie in de Tsingga- en Noemba-vallei : dagboek van Herman Peters ofm over de periode maart 1957 - juni 1959” from Bob Schijns and Herman Peters, published Utrecht, 2003. On the box is indicated that the tape has been recorded 19643 which could mean 1963-1964 or march 1964.
The tape is part of the audio collection of the foundation PACE Papua Cultural Inheritance. For more information or any messages or correspondence contact huublems81@gmail.com or srgales@ziggo.nl.
