Scope note
Maho is a festival dedicated to the ancestral spirits after the harvest of millet. The name of this festival varies from region to region, and people have different concepts on the nature and time of occurrence of the festival. When the crops of millet are stored, the chief would preside over a council to decide when to hold the festival; the preparation of marinated meat, millet rice cake and millet wine is then scheduled according to the date. On the day of Maho, members of the tribe gather to the venue for worship to observe a rite led by the chief to thank the ancestral spirits and pray for harvest.
