Animals’ Souls in the New Guinea Highlands By Heinrich Aufenanger What are the ideas of the primitive Highland natives regarding animals souls? They all realize that an animal’s soul is in no way equal to a human s °ul although they usually have the same expression for both. I have collected a few stories and usages which may throw light on this little explored subject. VANDEKE We had a young dog whose name was Bom b We took it with us into fhe bush. There it tried to climb a tree in search for a marsupial but fell down 0n a rock and broke a bone at the lower end of its vertebral column. We took p home and it seemed to be dying. Seeing this, one of our men said. This d °§ lost its soul on the rock on which it fell.” So we took some pig s grease and went to the rock where we made a fire. Then we poured out the grease, "hich trickled into the soil on the rock. When the fire had gone out, we took h°rne some of this soil, mixed it with boiled sweet potatoes and gave it to the c ^°§- It ate it and survived. (Reported by Dua.) An old man told my next informant the following story. On the right ^ank of the Nera nigl 2 people were celebrating their great pig festival. When eVer a pig had been slaughtered, its soul [kuia 3 ) would seize the wooden club Wit h which it had been killed, the ropes of sweet potatoes that had been wrap- ped round the club, and the rope attached to one of the pig’s forelegs, and fake these objects into a cave called Tsimburagle kombuglo. The pigs souls ^°uld arrive one after the other, putting down their clubs and e\erythin b . he n they would walk on, deeper into the cave on a wide road. Here is another report from the Vandeke: A young man had killed a 0ri § grey snake, tied a rope round it below its head and pulled the snake about. vS °°n afterwards he fell ill. People said: Togoi mam tsunggua 'The snake m °ther struck him” b - When a snake has been killed and a whistling noise 1 The bom is a variety of white lily. . , 2 The term “Wahgi” ist taken from the Middle Wahgi language. The Chimbu Pc °Ple call it Nera. 3 Kuia is also the word used to describe a human soul. ^ 4 It is not clear whether the soul of the dead snake is meant or whether it is per aps 'P lr h, the guardian of snakes.
