Trying to look clever in a seminar and reference something that I've completely bloody forgotten. Here's what I remember:
They're a forest/jungle dwelling people, who consider children and pigs to be essentially the same. Both are suckled and doted over and mourned for in death equally.
This changes when the children go through a classic rite of passage - the men of the village, wearing masks, run in and violently kidnap the children of a certain age, drag them out to a hut in the forest, tell them they're dead, and then teach them the chants and history of the tribe, before the children return to take part in the sacrifice of pigs.
I'm pretty sure the name of the tribe begins with an O. Any idea, anyone? |
