Taboos are all actions, circumstances, people, objects, etc., which owing to their dangerousness fall outside the normal everyday categories of existence. It is a kind of religious action that enables people to avoid doing things that would offend the spirits of nature and the ancestors.

taboo is like a restriction placed on someone from a person of higher authority. as used in folklore and mythology, opening pandora's box, or cinderella turning back into rags after midnight, and other things like that. i found this answer from about.com : urban legends.

I would have to agree with Jrene, Native American's believe in communication with Spirits and ancestors. I think this is thier way of life after death.
