Aboriginal Initiation Ceremonies from Central Australia

Pre-circumcision dance

Two men who will perform the actual circumcision dance with “witi” poles tied to their legs; this ritual in front of boys undergoing their initiation ceremony, is the last display before they are circumcised at their “kurdiji” ceremony in Lajamanu.
