sure that the children are raised
right. Men hunt and make the
major decisions that are best for
their tribe. No one knew this tribe
existed un?l stumbled upon by a
group of American archeologist
trying to ?e Australia into the rest
of the history of the world. What is
about to be experienced has only
been experienced by a select few.

3. “The Aboriginal Ringo Tribe,
”
(Monaghan & Just, 2000. p. 131).

4. This hidden Aboriginal tribe are hunters,
gathers, and traders. They believe in
living life graciously and being fruiLul
to the world.
The Ringo
Tribe
The Ringo tribe are in foraging socie@es,
in which people live in rela@vely small,
flexible, nomadic groups, possess a
subsistence technology designed for
hun@ng and gathering wild foods, and
range over a rela@vely large territory.

5. Ini@a@on
The Ringo tribe is a tribe that are
about making men out of their
young boys and they go through
rituals in order for their sons to
grow up to be men.
The Ringo Tribe feels that in order for
effec@ve male warriors boys needed
to undergo a complex series of
ini@a@ons, part of which was designed
to induce the physiological changes
necessary for boys to become
adult men. Jurungdu, was concentrated
in semen, which the boys will ingest
in the course of homosexual acts.
At the end of the ini@a@on process
the adult man marries a woman.

6. Ringo Feast
The Ringo tribal feast is one of joy
and celebra@on. It is welcomed around
the community, and people all over the
tribe loves to prepare for it.
Some of these feasts last for as long as
three days. Fiestas are usually happy @mes,
and people will linger for days aSerwards at
the house of the sponsors to gossip, joke,
and eat the leSover food.

7. Religion
The Ringo Tribesmen do believe in
worshipping one creator, but they
are also great believers in religious
rituals in society as a whole.
A crude way of puTng this idea is
that religious rituals are instances of
‘society worshipping itself’, while at
the same @me crea@ng intense
personal communal experiences that
confirm social solidarity.

8. The Ringo Tribe are cultured people that speak two different
languages and
communicate with certain animal sounds to speak. The men have a
bird call
or a howl that communicates to other men to let the tribe know when
outsiders are coming.
(Monaghan & Just, 2000. p. 49).

9. The Ringo women adorn themselves
with many rings and earrings to show
their womanhood. They are nice
women, but they are also women that
take charge when it comes to the house
and the children. They make sure
that the man of the house is taken
care of and he is ready for the next
day’s hunt by preparing his weapons.
Girls are taught from a young age how
to be the woman of the house and
by the age of ten girls are expected
to know the workings of a strong
household.
