A four day log reburial festival takes place in the village of Hutajulu after the rice harvest. In the churchyard and the Tugu (grave) the bones of the ancestors are exposed and, together with the bone of those which died outside the village, are brought to a new tugu in 71 small coffins. The village dance is initiated by the Hutajulu clan. Those families accepting a bride bring a present whilst dancing. The families giving a bride dance in bringing rice. A water buffalo is slaughtered and during the communal feasting the meat is distributed amongst the families which have given a bride. In the ultimate dance the organizers receive the blessings of the bride-giving families.
