About the rite
In kastom villages on Tanna, Vanuatu, boys spend time away after circumcision. When they return, the village welcomes them with dancing and a feast, marking a step toward adult male standing. Tourism material places these ceremonies roughly between July and September. The most recent date on which one was held is unknown.
