Activities of big hunting Festival
All the men above the junior grade set out to hunt in the mountains. Among them, the Youth Association of the youth grade put on a blue cloth skirt and went camping and hunting in the mountains together. Women make New Year cakes, weave wreaths, and build Arc de Triomphe at home to welcome the men who return safely and triumphantly from the mountain. On the last morning, all the men dressed up and returned to the tribe, while the women in the tribe would take the old and help the young, waiting at the Arc de Triomphe outside the tribe with rich food and wreaths. After returning to the club, the old man will replace the blue cloth skirt worn by the young man with a black cloth skirt to represent adulthood and establish a lifelong guidance relationship. There is a relationship of "Godfather" and "Godson" between the old and the young. The old should train the young to learn good manners and morality, while the young have the obligation to listen to the old and work for the old.
That night, the old man led the newly promoted young people to visit their families and told their relatives and friends that these young people can make friends of the opposite sex freely. Everyone sang and danced to bring the festival atmosphere to the climax until the early morning of the next day.
