About the traditional chanting and weeping; The chanting to the spirits are all in many different approaches to either calling to the death relatives to bring them some peace and comfort or chanting to bring Kula Trade luck to the men that involves the shell money that goes around from island to island in the Milne Bay Province, not just in the Trobriand islands safety during the winds and waves at sea to arrival at various destinations. The other traditional weeping is for the chief clan only, for their dead relatives. The weeping or chanting is different to the ordinary people.
