Abstract

In primitive rituals a village is thought of as a woman. When the population becomes too great, new villages (daughters) are founded and in some tribes in Assam the rituals accompanying the founding of a new village represent coitus, impregnation and birth. The rituals are described and their sexual symbolism explained.
