09:03Something important is about to happen here.

10:42the meal is coming together there are trays of food wrapped parcels bowls and fruit laid out
10:49on the mats this isn't the work of just one family with so many guests to feed
10:55preparing and sharing the food has become a group effort
11:43here's a moment you might miss a man is reading from a sheet of paper while someone holds a
11:48microphone the on-screen caption jokes about having to handle everything at this event

12:50Two captions help explain what's happening.
12:53There's a religious ceremony in the evening, and a communal circle dance after dark.
12:58The same village that was preparing food all day is now gathering for a very different
13:02part of the celebration.
13:18Good morning everyone.
13:48Good morning.
14:17Now we get another important clue.
14:20The caption calls this a wrist-tying ceremony.
