This page has more to do with the language than it does with the ethnic group. This should probably be changed (or possibly split into 2 stubs instead of 1).

Ritual, performance, politics: a kali'na mourning by Gerard Collomb has some interesting information that would do well to flesh out the Culture section. Since I'm relying on Gtranslate, I'd like a second look to make sure I'm not asserting something in error. Below are what I would like to add to the article based on the above citation:
Kasiri, a cassava-derived beer, is an important part of traditional Kalina celebrations.
The death of family members initiates a period of mourning that can last for a year or more, and is concluded with a celebration known as Epekotono. Preparations are made by a respected member of the village, and can take several months to assemble. Collecting money is a more contemporary addition to the responsibilities. Epekotono is a public event that draws attendance from neighboring villages, including body-painting, music, dancing, and symbolic burning of the deceased's belongings to mark their spirit leaving. At the conclusion, mourning ends and normal social behaviors resume, along with the option for widows to remarry. While non-Kalina can attend as guests, the event serves to reinforce the Kalina identity, marked by explicit use of the [Kalina language].[1]

- @Guianas. 2) I would add this line: "seule véritable occasion aujourd’hui de tels rassemblements dans la société kali’na." "nowadays, it is the only occasion for such gatherings" KittenKlub (talk) 13:30, 7 April 2021 (UTC)]
- KittenKlub, thanks. I've added it to main-space with your suggestions. Feel free to adjust it. I appreciate the help: I don't usually go looking for non-English sources, but this one had the abstract in English and I was weak to the siren call of possible encyclopedic content.
