KAKAR SPEARKakar spear, with rattan
KAKAR SPEARKakar spear, with rattan and rope band, face of ancestor figure. Kakar spears are some of the most sacred and important features of Murik society, as they are thought to possess spiritual powers to aid in (former) headhunting raids. The Kakar spears themselves embody ancestor spirits themselves.
Referring to Ledoux while explaining how some missionaries were overzealous in eradicating the headhunting and other rituals, and their associated tools, including spears, David Lipset (1997) explains βIn one village (Kaup), he [the over zealous missionary] took it upon himself to break the Kakar spears over his knee. Father Schmidt [an empathic missionary] dutifully stored the pieces in the attic of his house until 1936 when he gave them to a young American ethnographer, Pierre Ledoux, who was doing research in the Murik Lakes.β
