When a man takes a head he brings it into the village. He points a bamboo and puts the head on top of the bamboo inside. They kill pigs - every member of the head-hunting party kills one pig; - half he gives to his parents, the other half the headhunters take to the chief's (31) house and cook them there and make a feast. The chief takes two spears and two daos from each man coming back from war, and never gives them back, - he keeps these weapons in a big corner of his house and sells them occasionally to other villages. |
