One of the purposes of the ceremonies is to overcome taboo or magic. For example, Crawley's explanation of marriage ceremonies^ is that they are employed to overcome sexual and other taboos. Ceremonial gives play to mimicry and mummery, and through dances and chants serves to impress and work up emo- tion. The occasions which are usually accompanied by ceremonial of some kind are chiefly the following : birth, initiation, marriage ; hunting and fishing seasons ; death and burial ; war.
