planting corn.

On the 21st of April 2008 the whole Tumul Kin community of mails are are going to plant corn we will start at 5 o'clock in the morning. Normally when we go planting the girls prepare the food and the boys plant the corn. also when we go planting we don't eat until we come back from planting. this that we do is a part of the tradition.
when we reach at the area where we are going to plant we form a long line. Each one of us has to have a pointed stick and a traditional bag called a custal. if you don't have one we need to get something to put the corn in. once we have both material we start. the method of planting is that when we plant we plant in triangle using our arm length.once we have planted the whole area we head back to the compound. when we return to the compound the food is ready so we eat and rest for the rest of the day.
