Chapter 9, The World of the Village

Chapter 9, The World of the Village

Observations:
- We found the fist week back at the village to be gloomy.
- The Negros had fist fights while the Pygmies had wordy fights
- The tourists came to see the animals at Stantion De Chasse.
- The BaNgwana are suspected to practice the worst types of witchcraft and sorcery
- The village people were afraid of the Pygmies.
- Sometimes the Pygmies worked on the plantations if their hunting season was not good
- Turnbull goes on a fishing trip with some Negros.
- The people sang songs they would have never sang before a village, but they saw Kaweki as a lover of the forest.  The Pygmies danced in his prince and he told them he was cured.  Then they praised the molimo for what was done for one of its' children.

Religion:

There was not a lot of mention of the Pygmies religion in this chapter.  At the end of the chapter they do treat Kaweki as if he is one of them which is amazing.

I didn't have much to add from a Functionalist perspective for this chapter.
