Anotations

Scope note:

Millet is the traditional staple of the Pinuyumayan people. Every July each tribe holds a harvest festival with different proceedings and denomination. In the tribe of Kapitol (Zhiben area), a pole known as talingel will be set up to mark the festival and the celebration involves wrestling (known as malalius) and street procession. Wrestling is also on the agenda of the tribes of Pinaski and Puyuma; the latter’s celebration, additionally, involves dancing and outings to Mount Dulan, Green Island and Orchard Island. In the Murivurivuk tribe at Chulu, the celebration entails drimiakulu (“swinging”) and dremadodas (“rattan ball piercing”).
