[[File:Caganer back.png|thumb|160px|The ''[[caganer]]'' is a defecating figurine in Spanish [[nativity scene]]s.]]
Some peoples have culturally significant stories in which defecation plays a role. For example:
*In an [[Alune people|Alune]] and [[Wemale]] legend from the island of [[Seram]], [[Maluku Islands|Maluku Province]], [[Indonesia]], the mythical girl [[Hainuwele]] defecates valuable objects.<ref>{{cite book |doi=10.1093/acref/9780195156690.001.0001 |title=The Oxford Companion to World Mythology |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-19-515669-0 }}</ref>
*One of the [[traditions of Catalonia]] ([[Spain]]) relates to the ''[[caganer]]'', a [[figurine]] depicting the act of defecation which appears in [[nativity scene]]s in [[Catalonia]] and neighbouring [[Catalan Countries|areas with Catalan culture]]. The exact origin of the ''caganer'' is lost, but the tradition has existed since at least the 18th century.<ref name="BBC News">{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12059969|title=A traditional Nativity scene, Catalan-style|website=BBC News |date=23 December 2010|access-date=23 December 2010}}</ref>
