Story: Ceremonies and rituals take on many different forms. Some were very private and involved only people in that language group while others included all people belonging to the language group, even children. Often the objects or drawings made were placed in a bora ring or near the site where the ceremony was to be held. That is the reason why we find many scarred trees marking the site where sacred ceremonies were once held or continue to be held Special and sacred songs and dances were also created for these ceremonies.
