About the rite
In August 1975, a researcher observed Bulé in a Bribri community in Costa Rica. A girl who had reached her first menstruation spent a period in seclusion. Relatives and ritual specialists helped mark her entry into a new stage of life. It is unclear whether the practice has continued since then.
