Class distinctions are still recognized today, and are heredity, based on the status of both parents. Their legends tell of the creation of the world, of man's descent from the upper world to the mythical mountain top, and of the origin of man. These stories also include details about the adventures and travels of their ancestors. Such tales have become, over time, a sacred oral tradition of the Wewewa. The Wewewa regularly hold religious ceremonies in hopes of maintaining harmony between man and the spirit world.
Local priests officiate at all religious ceremonies and funerals of clan members.
Communication with the spirit world is primarily done through blood sacrifices, food offerings, and prayers to the spirits. Sacred altars are a common sight, and are located in houses, villages, fields, and even in the bush. There are only 19 known Christians among the Wewewa. Currently, there are no Christian radio or television broadcasts available in their native language, and only portions of the New Testament have been translated. Prayer Points Pray against the spirit of animism and ethnic religions that have blinded the eyes of the Wewewa and kept them bound for many generations.
