Message definition (AY Honors/African Lore/Answer Key)

|Initiation ceremony = Among the Okrika tribe of the Ijaw people, when a girl is about 17 years old, she (and the other girls in her community) undergoes a ritual called the ''Iria'', which is a coming-of-age ceremony. This ceremony has elements common to many other initiation ceremonies, including isolation, instruction, transition, and celebration. In former times, a girl was expected to marry immediately following her ''Iria'', but now it is acceptable for a woman to finish her education (including college) before marriage. The ''Iria'' still serves as an indication that a woman is eligible for marriage.
