51It is believed that a mythic being may be reincarnated in a [blank_start]child[blank_end]. The most important issue for the aborigines was [blank_start]spiritual heritage[blank_end]. Children learned through [blank_start]observation[blank_end] and [blank_start]participation[blank_end]. Girls collected [blank_start]food[blank_end] and boys were thrown onto their own [blank_start]resources[blank_end]. Killing infants was very [blank_start]rare[blank_end]. Initiation was a symbolic reenactment of [blank_start]death[blank_end]. Women would [blank_start]wail[blank_end], which symbolizes a mythic being who was said to swallow the child and vomit him into a new [blank_start]life[blank_end].
