To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Small, curiously- shaped baskets, supposed to represent the different imple- ments a man or woman uses in work when alive, are made and placed on the different graves. Thus they furnish the dead with the means of livelihood in Hades. This feast ends all mourning for the dead, and after it has been held there are no more periodical mournings.
But even after all mourning has ceased the Dyak still believes that his dead friends and relatives live and visit the earth. Before going forth on an exped...ition against the enemy, the dead are invoked, and are begged to help their friends on earth, so that they may be successful against their foes. In times of peril and of need the dead are called upon ; and on the hilltops or in the solitudes of the jungle a man often goes by himself and spends the night in the hope that the spirit of some dead relative may visit him, and in a dream teU him of some charm by means of which he may overcome difSculties and become rich and great.
BURIAL RITES 148 Burial is the usual, but not the only, mode of disposing of the dead.
