Naked Wednesday – The Butterfly Hunt

March 12, 2025 / Tapi Writer

This wednesday, nearly 30 of us came together to honor our ancestors. We wandered the jungle, catching butterflies—our tiny messengers to the spirit world—whispering our wishes before placing them in the sacred cage.

After our shaman’s blessing, we released them into the sky, sending our hopes to the ancestors. Sunisa claimed the top spot with the most butterflies caught, followed by Micke in second and Chief Mike of the Jurito in third. We wrapped up the event with music, dancing, and celebration as we often do.

Once again this year, the tribe helped host the Carnival Flotilla. A total of 16 floats participated, drawing a large crowd of spectators. Three judges—Summer, Leona, and Khaing—interviewed all the participants before selecting their top three, while Diana from the Xoco set the festive mood with lively Carnival music. Kwanita took first place, Micke secured second, and August placed third. Congratulations to the winners!
