This study uses historical and phenomenological perspectives in its investigation of the religious beliefs and rituals of Emu people, an indigenous society in Nigeria. Documenting their medicinal practices within the context of change, this study goes beyond structuralist and functionalist perspectives used by cultural anthropologists.
