MASKED TRADITIONS

Masks have been an important part of the traditions of their different tribes. These masks are associated with various rituals and ceremonies and are an integral part of tribal culture. Those who want to maintain their beliefs and traditions are shown as reactionary and bigoted.

Since some traditions are closely related to folk beliefs, it is sometimes difficult and perhaps unnecessary to distinguish between tradition and ritual. But tradition and ritual differ from each other, at least in the abstract. Rituals are often performed to influence the future.

Tradition, on the other hand, is carried out to affect the present moment abstractly.

These behaviors are sometimes associated with new beliefs or simply perpetuated out of habit.
