"During the year that I spent in Canaman, I frequently heard the labels "big people" (dakulang tao) and "little people" (sadit na tao) used in conversation. I found that townsmen usually referred to as big people had been placed in the upper diamond, while the little people fell into the lower. Each class moreover, had its own responsibility; each was expected to do certain things for the community or suffer the consequence of community displeasure. "
