The '''Cargo [[Prophet]]ess''' was a theme found in many stories of the [[Hauserkinder]] in which the female child would incite her poor or oppressed community to reject materialism. Her followers would follow her in a frenzied [[potlatch]] or a [[ritual]] destruction of property in the hopes of proving to the [[god]]s that they were the chosen people and that they deserved divine liberation or entry to [[paradise]]. Each story ended with the prophetess' disappearance or death at the hands of a hungry mob.
