New Tapirapé Village

The Tapirapé Totem

Finally the new village have been completed. It was celebrated by a big party with a speech from Elder Bubba and a blessing from Whisper and Summer.

Elder Bubba

Bubba’s Speech:

Bubba: Flops his papers and looks around
Bubba: “When ever the Tapirapé tribe has a grand event – it is the custom that the eldest elder speak….”
Bubba: “So you are forced to listen to me – eventhough I am young at heart!”
Bubba: “A fortnight ago a great catastrophe befell our village!”
Bubba: “A storm raged – undoubtedly sent by the jealous Wind God, that razed our little village!”
Bubba: “Supay sent death to our fields and the Wind God ravaged our huts….”
Bubba: “But the Tapirapé have always been pious people – we have always honored the Gods with body and soul!”
Bubba: “So we prayed to to Viracocha the great male god, to Cocha Mama the greath jungle mother – and Viracoca rewarded us with greath strenght and erection!”
Bubba: “Of new huts!”
Bubba: “New huts were erected to honor the Gods and the ancestors – even our most female elders erected huts!”
Bubba: “And so we stand here today – not in a village – but in a METROPOLIS – to rival Libertad itself!”
Bubba: “A new shining capital for the Tapirapé tribe!”
Bubba: “A shining city! A jewel of the North!”
Bubba: “It is my greath pleasure to welcome you all on behalf of the Elders and People of the Tapirapé!”
Bubba: shouts: “Welcome!”
Bubba: Takes off his glasses and folds the papers back

Then after Bubba’s speech followed a Blessing of the camp by Whisper and Summer

Paint, Vaccines and Tribe meeting

A cosy day today in the tribe. We started out doing body painting in the camp while waiting for people to come get vaccinated using yesterdays shards and scales. After the vaccinations, it was time for the tribe meeting in the cave.

Naked Wednesday – Whales!

Today the tribe traveled to Sansara to jump the whales and get shards for tomorrows vaccine and tribe meeting. Was a lot of fun, and with some frustrations as well… mostly fun though! Next Wednesday we go poke the dinosaurs!
