AniWaya Mature Green Corn Festival 2015

The AniWaya Mature Green Corn Festival 2015 was held by AniWaya in September 2015.

Reasoning

With New Dawn having recently disbanded, AniWaya is welcoming their members - and members of ALL packs - to the tribe to recuperate and to show off the tribe's offerings. The event coincides very well with the Cherokee Mature Green Corn Festival.

AniWayans are encouraged to seek out members from all packs in 'Souls and invite them to the Mature Green Corn Festival. The festival is open to any member of any pack and all members may participate in all threads (except for parts requiring ceremonial dancing).

Timeline

  • Dance and decision – honourable women perform a religious dance and then decide when the festival is to be held.
  • Hunting of the game – AniWayans hunt game for the festival and feast. Frodo Silvertongue, Avonaco, Light Goldenfeather, and Claudius Aston track and hunt the game.
  • Ambassador threads – members can arrange a thread to drop off invites to the other packs.
  • Building the arbour - members can get involved with the building of the canopy. An arch much be built with green branches, making an arbor in the ceremonial grounds.
  • Building the hothouse - Band together to build the small log hut for a hot house! Find a suitable location, collect and chop wood, build the house, build seating, and build a fire within. (May be divided up into multiple threads!)
  • Sep 4: Claudius Aston announced the event, officially kicking it off! All pre-event threads (listed at the bottom) can follow this announcement.
  • Sep 13: Made of green branches and leaves, an arbor marks the ceremonial grounds. During the feast, participants will be offered to drink 'the black tea' (a herbal concoction) for purifying and cleansing of their souls. There will also be dancing, feasting, and corn!
  • Sep 15: AniWayans will spend time in a hot house cozying up, roasting corn, and potatoes.
  • Sep 30: AniWayans present gifts to the spirits and ambassadors or members of other packs to honour their presence. Fire tenders perform their ceremonial dance and tell the story of the lighting of the Great Fire. This thread would symbolize the beginning of a new season and search to pursue friendship with other packs.
