In the Wai Daba spring-fed rice fields, every rice field area—referred to as an ulu (head)—has its own history associated with ancestors and ceremonies. While the repertoire of ceremonies is broadly similar, the ancestral invocations attached to each area vary. The first ceremony required is the pre-harvest ceremony. In the Bercoli valley, this involves a chicken, eggs and a portion of the previous year’s rice offered in bamboo lengths to the custodians, the ancestors of the fields and the springs that water the fields. Another ceremony must be carried out prior to the rice being carried home. The final ceremony of the harvest period is the sau hare (new rice consecration ceremony), in which rice is first offered to the ancestors at the origin house site in exchange for blessings on the health of all those involved in the harvest and for prosperity in the coming agricultural year. This is the sau hare (new rice) ceremony. Until this ceremony is complete, the senior representatives of each house may not consume the new rice.
