Today, we came together to celebrate the initiation of Alaya, Mikhael, Nuk, Toxo, and Yakirin into our tribe. Our sacred ritual site was made beautifully and festive by the gifts of Elder Summer. Tapis and friends from all around gathered to join in the celebration, hearts full of joy. As tradition holds, Bubba took center stage, offering a welcoming speech to our new Brothers and Sisters, marking the beginning of their journey with us, and then Shaman Whisper, assisted by Atan, performed the initiation ceremony.
Bubba: “Tapirapé people! Elders of the tribe!”
Bubba: “We are gathered here for a very joyous occasion – our tribe grows”
Bubba: Coughs, “We are gathered here for a very joyous occasion – our tribe grows”
Bubba: “Not only from our women’s wombs – but natives from all along the river!”
Bubba: “We – the Tapirapé people are honored to welcome these fine prospects into our tribe!”
Bubba: “They have spent time here, and learned our ways – we could not be happier or ask for more!”
Bubba: “I know that you will all be fine additions to our people! That you shall populate the Tapi lands with new strong children and tend our fields and goats”
Bubba: “Know that you are becoming part of one of the jungle’s oldest and most storied tribes!”
Bubba: “Taupeicha! I say”
