All of us fly-in guests where then corralled into the center of a long column of singing Folopa. We were led by a group of guitar players and singers, followed by warriors and surrounded on all sides by women dressed in elaborate grass dresses waving decorations and making music by beating on pvc pipes with flip flops. It was great. What was really incredible was that this village was doing this same welcoming processional for every guest that came to attend the dedication the entire day from sunrise to sundown. Over a thousand people came as guests from the surrounding Folopa villages.
