The men carry their loads on the head but the women in a large basket, made by themselves, slung across the shoulder. This basket is called a 'SANG'. There are no sacred groves or trees, only the ground in the immediate vicinity of the house of the Juju is guarded and no one may approach it. The mother of a family is looked upon as the sole head of that family and the father has little or no authority. Anything done by the mother is accepted without question by the entire family.
Marriage is by purchase.
There seems to be no limit to the amount paid. In most cases the purchase money or dowry consists of simple presents such as chickens, goats, hoes and cutlasses. Everything must be returned if the bride leaves the husband but in the event of the husband leaving the dowry is forfeited. Tsaranchi is not indulged in. Farming Work on the farms is done by both the men and the women.
