Scope note
“Smratuc” refers to the sowing festival in Seediq. During the period in which the Seediq people live on hunting and crops, the sowing festival takes place in February and March each year, lasting for three days or so. On the third day of the rite, the whole tribe would be led by the priest to the venue for worship in which each family prays for harvest and prosperity. They would use a stick to stir the rice and millet spread in a trap made of stone slabs in the venue and pray for harvest and health for the family members at the same time.
