Cargo cult
A cargo cult is a Melanesian indigenist millenarian belief system, often characterised as one in which adherents perform rituals which they believe will cause a more technologically advanced society to deliver goods. The consensus amongst scholars is however more nuanced, noting that such movements have to be understood as counter-colonial reactions to changing social and economic conditions, and that the 'cargo' aspect of such movements has been decontextualized, to the detriment of a fuller understanding.
