Abstract

The cultural and social transformations of modern Africa affect the African habits and traditions. We have a duty to preserve and respect our cultures which constitute a heritage of the African inheritance.

Our major concern was to undertake a study on the funerary rites of the usual Heads Bindji-Ngusu, to describe the historical past of these people as regards the aspects social, economic, political and cultural of died of the traditional Heads.

For the drafting of this text, we resorted to the dialectical method, which we judged supplements, richest, and seems the most completed leading to the exploitation of the data in sociology.

Any ancestral cultural activity aims several goals. That which is mainly continued by the funerary ones of the Heads, is to make men ripe, discrete, courageous, undertaking and having the control of it. To arrive at that, it is necessary to pass by initiation who constitutes a prerogative of the ripe and old men. They are agents of the tradition are bequeaths by selecting the Heads by their bravery, their wisdom and their knowledge
