Traditionally, major buffalo festivals are held in the central plaza at the entrance to the reservation. www.biquge.info Although there are more than 30,000 people in the Bison Tribe, most of the young people go out to work to support their families, and most of the people who remain on the tribal reserve are elderly and children.

Of course, there are also some young people who come back from out of town to participate in the important calf birth festival. So early in the morning of April 30th, the whole bison tribe began to boil, and some young and strong women took the initiative to come to the central square to help the whole tribe to have dinner and hundreds of busy cooks. Even the children who love to sleep the most are led by their parents, grandmothers and grandfathers to the central square to chase and play everywhere. But these children are very polite, and will not play near fire or all kinds of dangerous places with knives, and almost all the tribesmen will wear traditional Indian costumes and come to the central square to attend the party.

The scene of the party was very lively, and relatives and friends who usually did not meet each other gathered together to sit on the floor and chat freely. Talking about their one-year experience and achievements, of course, due to the pressure of the external environment, most of them still tell their peers about their oppression and grievances. Fortunately, the sun is shining brightly today, the temperature has reached more than ten degrees above zero, coupled with the smell of spring, the fragrance of plants and flowers, but the atmosphere of the scene is very harmonious and warm.

Although the members of the bison tribe are optimistic and can sing and dance, the bison tribe has been very well-behaved from ancient times to the present. The gate of the tribal territory sits north to south, and is divided into four directions: south, east, west, and northwest, and the northern area is where the open-air restaurants are located. Hundreds of hired chefs, as well as women who are good at cooking, helped to organize the ingredients and prepare for the lunch party.

This year is the first year that Lefu has been crowned as a chief, and he has generously spent a large amount of money to pay for the dinner of ordinary people. Therefore, the variety of dishes at this year's dinner is very rich, and it can be said that there is everything on land, sea and air, but this day is the birth festival of the calf, which is the beginning of a new life, so these ingredients do not include beef. In other words, during the five days of the calf birth festival, the bison tribe will not harm any animal with the word cow, including bison cow calf, not even snails will not eat it.

The open-air restaurant is surrounded by various tables, chairs, and benches taken out by ordinary people from various homes, and all the tables are placed together, and there are more than 5,000 of them. This also corresponds to the number of ordinary people's families, and the scene of more than 20,000 people having a meal together is spectacular.

At the entrance of the reservation is the center line, on the left is the place where the dinner is gathered, and on the right is the place of worship, where the Indians believe in animism. From ancient times to the present, living individuals will not be slaughtered except for food and clothing, so the bison tribe worships the bison god who helped the whole tribe tide over the difficulties. Therefore, the sacrifice is a big event, and the high sacrificial platform facing the gate of the tribe has been built.

The altar is five meters high, a height that allows the 20,000-strong crowd to see the sacrifices on the altar even if they are the last of them. The altar is 50 square meters in size, and the wooden floor is covered with cowhides used for the annual calf birth festival. However, in the center there is a round clay plate with a radius of two meters and high in yellow clay, and in the center of the plate is a high pile of wood, which is a bonfire for sacrifice.

After all, the Indians believe in witchcraft, and I understand it according to our Chinese people, which is the great god of dancing in the Northeast. It is impossible to complete the ritual without fire, and in front of the fire plate is a sacrificial table, on which various sacrifices are placed.

In the center is a bison skull, especially the two horns on the skull are particularly large and sharp. It is said that this skull bull head is a skull left behind by the incarnation of the bison god who led the bison tribe to escape the catastrophe and came to this valley to thrive. Of course, the authenticity of the bull is yet to be verified, but this skeletal bull head is very spectacular, and it is indeed the skull left behind by a bison. Because the shape of this skull is very different from that of ordinary beef cattle, with that huge horn with a growth length of more than 50 centimeters, it is not comparable to ordinary beef cattle.

This skeletal bull head is the embodiment of the bison god, and it is also the idol worshipped by all the research tribes, it is very precious, and the tobacco like a candle tied with hemp rope on both sides of the bison skull is slowly burning. The smell of tobacco permeated the altar, and corn, potatoes, peppers, and other crops cultivated by the ancient Indians were placed on the side. These crops have blessed the Indian race for thousands of years, and there have not been any large-scale famines, hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries and other natural disasters, so these crops are basically deified, and they are also an important embodiment of the faith of the Indian people.

Around the altar is a bamboo pole with a bison flag fluttering in the wind, and this flag is white linen with a blood-red bull's head painted on it. This is also the symbol of the bison tribal people, and the name of the flag at the time of the war is called the bison flag. In addition to these, there are several carpets spread on the floor around the altar, on which more than a dozen musicians with traditional Indian instruments in their hands sit to accompany the rituals.

Since the disappearance of the Mayan culture, the Indian civilization has lost its written language, but the musical form has remained, and many traditional Indian musical instruments have been passed down to the present day. Although these instruments are very old and handmade, they are not so beautiful to play. But at least these are the products of the legacy of the Inca civilization, and they are welcomed by all the Indian people.

How could there be no band when the festival was so important! What's more, these old musicians, who are more than 60 years old on average, have a solid playing foundation and are very beautiful to accompaniment. After eight o'clock, more than two hundred chieftain's guards guarded the entire tribe's upper echelons, as well as the chieftain and his wife, who had been lifted up to the top, came to the central square.

At this time, everyone would stop what they were doing and line up at the gates of the city to welcome the arrival of the chieftain and the top of the tribe. Because the next is the sacrifice, the whole bison tribe will participate in the men, women and children, when Lefou, with his wife Marianne in the crowd, the scene suddenly exploded like a frying pan, cheers and shouts shook the sky.

From this it can be seen that Lefu, who has just been crowned a chief, and the little chief is unanimously loved by ordinary tribesmen. As the so-called love house and Wu, Marianne's status of successful pregnancy has also skyrocketed, and has been unanimously praised by all the tribal people. Although the tribesmen were very welcoming, none of them would put obstacles in the way of the chieftain's path, so they quickly passed through the crowd in a palanquin carried by four samurai.

When they came to the bottom of the altar, all the high-ranking tribes stood in two rows and followed the chieftain and his wife to the altar to prepare to worship the buffalo god. After everyone came to the altar and stood still, today's protagonist is also a living mascot, a pregnant white bison about to give birth was carried to the altar by more than two dozen strong men with a huge net made of corn coating. After the living mascot is in place, the eclipse begins to play, and then Eric, the tribal prime minister and a wizard, starts jumping and jumping with only a bison mask. Then Chief Lefou, with his wife Marianne, took the various crops handed over by the Indian maiden and threw them into the sacrificial bonfire and left them to burn.
