This includes oral traditions such as tales, legends, proverbs and jokes. They include material culture, ranging from traditional building styles common to the group. Folklore also includes customary lore, taking actions for folk beliefs, the forms and rituals of celebrations such as Christmas and weddings, folk dances and initiation rites.

Just as essential as the form, folklore also encompasses the transmission of these artifacts from one region to another or from one generation to the next.
