Summary
DescriptionDogon-dancer.jpg |
English: Like many cultures, the cliff-dwelling Dogon peoples of rural Mali in West Africa have special beliefs and practices related to death. It is believed that after a person dies, even if his body is removed, his spirit remains in his home. The spirit must be coaxed out with a special ceremony. The spirit then begins its journey on to the heavenly world to join the other ancestors.
Français : Comme de nombreuses cultures, les peuples Dogon vivant dans les falaises du Mali rural en Afrique de l'Ouest ont des croyances et des pratiques particulières liées à la mort. On pense qu'après la mort d'une personne, même si son corps est enlevé, son esprit reste chez lui. L'esprit doit être persuadé par une cérémonie spéciale. L'esprit commence alors son voyage vers le monde céleste pour rejoindre les autres ancêtres.
