To reintegrate hunters and warriors into the tribe, shamans use rituals that mimic the effects of death or even take the participants to death's door. T h e hunters or warriors m a y be buried alive for a period of time or confined in a cave or sweat lodge, symbolically growing in the womb o f the earth. T h e n they are raised up ( R e s u r r e c t e d ) and welcomed as newborn members of the tribe.
