The ceremony is slowly dying out. The village we stayed in is one of the last to keep up the tradition, and most of the men there have been initiated.
The ceremony is about removing the blood of the mother, which is said to be contaminated, and thus about becoming a man, and being allowed into the sacred spirit house

It was really quite intense. We were up at 6:00am and didnt stop running around for hours. By the end the cameraman and I were exhausted. I thought I would be more disturbed by the whole event, but I wasnt. It was crazy though....

I'll be putting some more pics up as soon as I get home... We have filmed an initiation ceremony which involves young men swallowing canes, and we are currently trying to find a woman that breast feeds piglets.

Thank you for the censorship on the pics btw.
