140.
90 TOTEM AND TABOO the motives, including both the ostensible ones and those which may be regarded as the underly- ing and genuine motives.
Among the Shuswap in British-Columbia wid- ows and widowers have to remain segregated dur- ing their period of mourning; they must not use their hands to touch the body or the head and all utensils used by them must not be used by any one else. No hunter will want to approach the hut in which such mourners live, for that would bring misfortune; if the
...shadow of one of the mourners should fall on him he would be- come ill. The mourners sleep on thorn bushes, with which they also surround their beds. This last precaution is meant to keep off the spirit of the deceased; plainer still is the reported custom of other North American tribes where the widow, after the death of her husband, has to wear a kind of trousers of dried grass in or- der to make herself inaccessible to the approach of the spirit. Thus it is quite obvious that touch- ing "in the transferred sense" is after all un- derstood only as bodily contact, since the spirit of the deceased does not leave his kin and does not desist from "hovering about them" during the period of mourning.
