- Description
- Kwakwala stayed out in his garded an did not come back into the village as they went off to see what he was doing. He was dressed only in leaves and even ate leaves. When they got to his garden he was not there but at a place where an elephant had died and he was eating it. "He has not come to the garden, I thought I might go and see. He has not come. The elephant died at Magala, I wanted to see it, Kwakwala." The gourd rattles themselves give their name Chitsukulumwe to the dance which they accompany. Chitsukulumwe dance with gourd rattles, drums and clapping.
