Circumcision in Different Cultures

Factual Questions
1

Hello,

I am looking for information on circumcision on various cultures.

  1. I am looking for information on the circumcision practices of the Philippines, Australian Aborigines, Samoa, Turkey, and Africa. Specifically, I am looking for information on why circumcision is practiced, who performs it, with what instruments it is performed, testimonies, and photographs.

  2. This webiste speaks about American Indians, Caribs, Aztecs, and Mayans practicing circumcision. I had never heard of any Native American tribe practicing circumcision. Is this claim true? If so, what tribe practiced this ritual and why?

  3. Is it true that in Yemen there was a ritual in which even the shaft skin was removed? If so, why was this practiced? When did it stop?
