 At the birth of a girl, the father brought firewood on his head; when a boy was born, a bow and arrow was carried in the father's right hand.Following death, a meeting of kin decided the issue of inheritance and a widow was assigned to the heir, if she was willing.If a woman died in childbirth, the unborn child was cut from the belly and placed on its dead mother's back inside the grave, while the women would weep and chant inside the hut with the corpse; the men would sit quietly outside.
