The authors examine how the Duna people have transformed their rituals and myths in response to external influences such as government, Christianity, and economic developments like mining and oil prospecting. Through fieldwork and historical sources, they offer rich ethnographic insights into the Duna's cultural practices, including those that have been abandoned. This work contributes significantly to discussions on agency and cultural identity among indigenous communities navigating significant socio-economic and political changes.
