Description:
This article documents the traditional funerary practices of the To Wiau, a small people group of interior southeastern Sulawesi, Indonesia, from when a person died until the final internment of their remains in the Alo-alo mortuary cave. The trip to the cave and the elaborate festivities that preceded it took place only once every few years and were a major celebration in the collective life of the To Wiau.
