+====== Schechner ======
 ====== Kaiko Celebration: A Symbolic Connection Between Dancing and Alliances ======
 The //kaiko// celebration is described by Schechner as a year-long festival of the Tsembaga, put on for both entertainment and strategic purposes. Key elements of the //kaiko// include dancing and trade. Local groups from neighboring areas meet to participate in this event, which is strategically planned, to solidify alliances through a debtor-creditor relationship. This relationship is created through an exchange of goods that never ends in a balance; the roles are simply reversed. For example, "when the //kaiko// is over, the guests owe the hosts meat, and the hosts owe the guests trade items" (313). The purpose behind this switch is to ensure future //kaikos// occur, along with a continued trade between groups.
