see Rappaport, Roy A. 1984. Pigs for the Ancestors. Ritual in the
Ecology of a New Guinea People. New Haven, CT: Yale Univ. Press (2nd
enlarged ed. 1968). Rappaport deals with a much broader range of
ecological issues than just religion and ritual, but they are an
important part of the study.

I'm also sending you by snailmail a copy of my paper:
