Document Summary

Watched a video called the long search with ronald eyre. Similarities between indonesian primal group and the dogon group seen last class are: the graves are in caves on a mountain, dancing, some kind of celebration. The long cloth that many were carrying was intended to show the path to the world of the dead (its for guidance for the soul) The role of fire (when they burned down the (pavilion) wooden building and sacrificed the buffalo) represents the transformation from what is present in this world to that of the spirits world. Example the word dead we normally people has passed away, crossed the line etc . but for birth there is only a few example, came to this world, born . We use euphemisms because we are uncomfortable with the word death so we use softer or gentle words.
