(The women washed the women).That body, the men washed it and then wrapped it--three times they repeated washing the body;Three times they repeat and wash (the body).After repeatedly washing the body three times, wrapping it, and taking it, they bury it,Then, if the wife of the person who died is present,His sisters, take her (the deceased's wife), his decendants, if a man dies,The male descendant (of the deceased) wash his wife (in goat's blood).If a woman dies, the woman's relatives(the woman's descendants) wash the husband of the of the woman who died (also in goat's blood).They wash until 14 days have been fulfilled, for 14 days.They sit at the place of the dead, mourning, gathering corn,Others who carry the baskets, on their headsthose who bring the baskets of corn that was shuckedthey bring it all, gathering together, grinding grain for beerwhile the women are grinding grain for beer, the men(the men) gather money together and buy a goatIf there is a person who is poor (if the deceased was poor),they (the mourners) gather money and buy (the goat).If there is a person who has money on his own,he'll grab the goat and bring it inside his house himself.Having brought the sacrifice in and slaughtered it, they brew the beer,spitting it as an offering (both pouring on the ground and spitting out the first bits), they go to the grave (literally, 'the head').They stand up a weeshe tree (or lay the limbs on the grave) and slaughter his cowif there's a goat, they slaughter a goat and if there's a cow, they slaughter a cow.They go and sprinkle blood on the grave and return to spend the nightThey spend the night and in the morning, they shave their heads (and cut finger/toenails, beards, and wash clothing--this marks the end of the 14-day mourning period).They take everyone's clothes (the mourners' and the deceased's) and wash them in the river,the boys and girls collect all the clothes (and wash them)if there are 5, 6, 7, 8, and even if there are 10 peopleThey lead themselves to wash clothes and then returneveryone drinks beer and again, spends the night, then on the next day, they drink the rest.they bless and after they leave, the go back to their own homesthey do exactly this until the 14 days are spentFor 14 days, two weeks, they mourn and sit.We know that.Our father's culture was like this.In the ancient times, our father's went to the person's death placehis relatives (too) went to the place where he diedthey, their relatives, come to the death place, and then (everyone) mournstheir relatives go to the place where he diedOur fathers and their wives went there, to the place (of the dead), and stayeduntil their heads were shaved, they stayed there, and gathered together a meeting to speak to one anotherIn peace, they leave at the end of the mourning period and enter back to their homes.I know this.
