The SEAC staff attended the Sau-Batar ceremony at the Watucarbau Administrative Post in Viqueque municipality. The event featured a ritual, led by members of the Uma-Lulik and community elders, where newly harvested corn was brought into the sacred house, while older corn was ceremonially removed. Areca nuts and corn stalks were also displayed as part of the tradition. This ritual, which unites generations, culminates in a celebratory dinner.
Besides, the CNTLU team conducted interviews, highlighting the contributions of Anacleto Amaral, a community elder and devoted practitioner of the Sau-Batar tradition in Covalima Municipality. |
