Hello everyone, tapirape family, friends, thank you for being present for this important moment.
Years ago, our ancestors created in this jungle, our tribe “tapirape”, which is the oldest tribe of the jungle, conceived in the idea of freedom, and a spiritual life and rituals and help our loved ones and our allies.
Today you new tapirape you will be part of our family, and thus perpetuate our family It’s a great tradition.
It’s up to us and you now, about to dedicate yourself here to the tribe, through your efforts, your investment, your interest, for our tribe that we can continue the unfinished work of our ancestors and in the desire to defend it and promote our tribe.
Do not forget.. every time you wonder how far you can go. Just remember how far you have come. Remember everything you’ve faced, all the battles you’ve won, and all the fears you’ve overcome.
Believe in yourself and you will be unstoppable.

Bubba Oh: Coughs and ruffles the papers and puts on his glasses…
Bubba Oh
Bubba Oh: “Ahem…”
Bubba Oh: “Uhnnn…”
Bubba Oh: “Welll Young Tapis!”
Whispering Wind (maryam.camino): looks fascinated to bubba spectacles
Bubba Oh: Squints at the greasy papers and then says with his best politicians voice…
Bubba Oh: “Three score years ago our ancestors brought forth in this jungle, a new tribe, conceived in the idea of freedom, and dedicated to the smoking of hemp leaves.”
Bubba Oh: Looks at the Shaman and Summer…
Bubba Oh: “Now we are engaged in in bringeing forth a new generation of Tapirapé, to test whether our tribe, our family so conceived and so dedicated, can endure.”
Bubba Oh: Smugly looks at the new Tapis…
Bubba Oh: “We have come to dedicate you – young souls to this great tradition. To sanctify you before our almighty mother Mama Cocha our mother river.”
Tichi’Una (tichiuna.skydancer) smiles at Bubba.
Bubba Oh: “The mother river, who has always encircled this land, this land from which we spring.”
Bubba Oh: “But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. Our ancestors, our dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. “
Bubba Oh: Bubba now looks VERY satisfied with his oratorical ability!
Bubba Oh: “The jungle will little note, nor long remember what I – poor elder – say here, but it can never be forgotten what our ancestors did here. For they ARE the jungle itself!”
Bubba Oh: “Yet it is for us the living, for you about to dedicated here to the tribe, to work this unfinishable work which our honered ancestors have started – and which we – your elders – humbly try to advance!”
Bubba Oh: “And this brings me to Mama Cochas daughter Mama Quilla, patron of you Tapirapé women and of the institution of marriage.”
Whispering Wind (maryam.camino): nods vehemently
Bubba Oh: He shakes his head as if he lost the thread of his words… Shakies his head and ruffles the papers…
Bubba Oh: “But this is the Amazon, so not long will I dwell on the subject of marriage – for its importance is given, but instead I must turn my attention to Mama Allpa, and the deed of fornication, for fornication is what will advance our tribe, and when fornicating, you must always endeavour to preserve the pure native blood of the Tapirapé tribe – you shall not! must not! soil your loins – like a certain other tribe, that shall go unmentioned!”
Bubba Oh whispers: “Did I really write that Shaman?!”
Bubba Oh: Picks himself up…
Bubba Oh: “And so, when join – join not only in the huts! Join on the land – in the river against the trees! That you may please the Gods of the jungle, make the tribe greater bring fertility – like the priest of the Tapirapé you are about to become!”
Whispering Wind (maryam.camino): blinks impressed with the wisdom of the elder
Catten Carter: laughs loud and wipes tears, then applauds, “best speech ever bubba”
Tichi’Una (tichiuna.skydancer) stifles a laugh, covering her mouth.
Summer (summergentlewhisper) smiles..”awesome “
ATAN I’HΞYU (aishe.aabye) raises an eyebrow and smiles
Bubba Oh: Looks very VERY satisfied with himself there – as he folds up the papers
Bubba Oh: “And Now You are proper Tapis!”
MansooR RedChilli (mansoor50): heck…bubbah is the only honest politicna i know
Catten Carter: applauds, “well done bubba!”
