Those are some interesting plant, especially the one for the parts LOl!
Yup, I think that's pre-colonial custom π .
I wonder why the women have to gather the maripa palm? Probably because they probably use it more than the men hahaha.
Haha, nah not really. It's customary that when a man takes a wife, he has to cut open an agricultural plot on which the women will have to grow crops. In their culture a man is allowed to have more than one wife, so for every wife another plot of land.
The men hunt, fish, built, etc., while the women do the chores around the house and maintain the agricultural plots.
That's why I had to remind myself that it's not my culture and that I still needed to be respectful. If people are happy and nobody's getting hurt, who am I to intervene?
