content: Full film record of the Enga, a sedentary subsistence horticulturalist group of the Enga Province found west of Mount Hagen in Papua New Guinea. Footage documents the distribution of pigs following a funeral at Tourename. The pigs are brought to the ceremonial site and arranged on the ground prior to distribution. This is a medium of exchange found in many Enga ceremonials that takes place particularly at times of marriage or, as in this case, at the time of a death.
