acknowledge my two colleagues M. Herard Simon and M. Max 

 Beauvoir. Herard Simon and his wife Helen lux serviicurs of the 

 most profound aw^areness. One of the truly great traditional 

 liouni^an of all o( Haiti, Herard offered his spiritual and physical 

 protection without which this project would ne\er ha\e been 

 completed. Max Beauvoir, a man of grace and profound knowl- 

 edge, was also directly responsible for the success of the project. 

 He and his wife Elizabeth offered me their home, and provided 

 emotional, intellectual and physical support at the most critical 

 moments. His daughter Rachel worked with me on every phase of 

 the ficldwork. She showed herself to be a courageous fieldworker, 

 an insightful anthropologist and a w^onderful companion.
