Description

This is a video taken during a wedding party that was happened upon. It isn't very useful for language, but has a certain cultural-documentary value. What is happening is a sort of reception ceremony at the house of the bride. The bride's maternal uncles wait for the groom's family processing near the bride's family house. One of the men is holding a piece of discarded garment attached to a pole, which will be burned upon the guests' arrival in order to drive away bad omen. One of the men standing describes this custom as gaɨn mɨya. In the entrance of the bride's house a branch of taan tree and a ŋɨdɨŋ 'spear' are erected in order to scare away spirits who might bring bad luck.
