AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Dogons are primarily farmers (mainly millet) and blacksmiths. They are renowned for their cosmogony and their sculptures. The language spoken by the Dogons is the Dogon language, which comprises several dialects. There is also a secret language, sigi so, a language reserved for the mask society. The Dogons are linked with the Bozo ethnicity by a joking kinship (called sinankunya in Mali). Dogons and Bozos mock each other, but, at the same time, owe mutual assistance.
