CONT

Les rites funéraires mohawks sont assez complexes : selon leurs croyances, le voyage vers l'au-delà se déroule tant dans le monde du soleil que celui des terrains de chasse éternels. C'est pourquoi les objets utilisés pour perpétuer le voyage vers ces milieux spirituels sont fort variés, et représentent tantôt des outils pour la chasse, tantôt des offrandes au dieu du soleil et à la terre-nourricière.

OBS

rite : geste, célébration prescrit(e) par la liturgie d'une religion.

PHR

Derniers rites funéraires.
