CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY FOR MISSIONS M.M.NINAN home which has the shape as tulkuls but are built on stilts to ward of pests . Many other factors build up around this need. When and how many times do they eat? What are the rules of the hospitality in meals? How are the sacrificial meat and other products distributed? In the sacrificial animals every member of the larger family and friends has a share. Each part is designated by tradition to certain person who is related to the person sacrificing in a certain way. For example the right shoulder of the sacrificial lamb should go to the uncle. Similarly the meat obtained by the hunt is divided strictly in accordance kith the cultural traditions. An infinite amount of intricate details work out around this need. 27
CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY FOR MISSIONS M.M.NINAN 2. Reproduction These are the needs of man to satisfy his sexual urge as well as his desire to maintain his lineage and name. These are controlled by the society very rigidly by the cultural system of marriage and kinship. Marriage is a social mechanism to mark off legitimate sex partners; and kinship is a system for placing and training each individual born within the culture. 3. Bodily Comforts These involve essentially shelters and clothing. What types of shelters do people make depends on their needs determined by their profession, convenience and availability. Evidently nomadic types cannot maintain permanent houses, as they are moving all the time except for their old, women and children. So they live in shelters made of temporary materials and protect themselves with thorn fences. The agriculturists can build permanent houses with yards and can afford more luxuries of life on a permanent basis. They make tukuls made of grass so that it will be cooler with larger yards. Many tribes do not wear clothes, but adorns themselves with ornaments and paints. In the extreme humid hot regions clothing is probably unnecessary. Many tribes prefer to go totally naked to keep themselves cool. 28
