Ndut initiation rite
The Ndut is a rite of passage as well as a religious education commanded by Serer religion that every Serer (an ethnic group found in Senegal, the Gambia and Mauritania) must go through once in their lifetime. The Serer people being an ethnoreligious group,〔Diedrich Westermann, Edwin William Smith, Cyril Daryll Forde, International African Institute, International Institute of African Languages and Cultures, Project Muse, JSTOR (Organization), ''"Africa: journal of the International African Institute, Volume 63"'', pp 86-96, 270-1, Edinburgh University Press for the International African Institute, 1993〕 the Ndut initiation rite is also linked to Serer culture.〔 Niang, Cheikh Ibrahima, Boiro, Hamadou, "Social Construction of Male Circumcision in West Africa, A Case Study of Senegal and Guinea-Bissau", () Reproductive Health Matters (2007) ()〕〔 Dion, Salif, "Le Ndut ou l’Education initiatique en pays sereer : étude thématique de chants et de symboles, Dakar, Université de Dakar (1979), p 124, (Mémoire de Maîtrise)〕 From the moment a Serer child is born, education plays a pivotal role throughout their life cycle. The ndut is one of these phases of their life cycle.〔 In Serer society, education lasts a lifetime, from infancy to old age.〔
==Etymology==
The name Ndut comes from the language of the Ndut people, a sub-group of the Serer people. In a religious sense, it means nest. It is a place of sanctuary, and the place where Serer boys lodge in preparation for their circumcision.〔〔 These boys are called ''njuli'' (initiates). The word ''njuli'' comes from the Serer word juul (variations : ''juu'') which means a little boy's penis.〔"Diktioneer Seereer-Angeleey, Serere-English Dictionary", First Edition, (May 2010), Compiled by PCVs Bethany Arnold, Chris Carpenter, Guy Pledger, and Jack Brown. Created and printed by Peace Corps Senegal.〕 Because of its religious connotations, the word has been borrowed by the Wolof to designate a Muslim person (juulit)〔 (see :Serer religion's influence in Senegambia).
