Description
Four pages of typewritten notes titled "Additional Notes from 1952-53 ('Children's Ceremonies' Article)" by James Spillius. This report outlines the various rites of passage that children go through on Tikopia, as well as the ceremonies associated with them. Spillius also comments on the decreasing frequency of such ceremonies, and partially attributes the change to the lack of resources available during the famine.
