ASKING FESTIVAL of the INUIT peoples

The 14th November is recorded as the commencement of the Festival of ASKING by the INUIT peoples.

Traditionally on the first day of this celebration young people blacken their faces & make the rounds collecting food for the next day's feast. Men & women at the feast ask each other for coveted possessions, which are turned over. After a large percentage of village property has changed hands, everyone dances.

Perhaps there is a lesson in this for the Economic powers of the planet. We need peoples of the Northern and Southern hemispheres to engage in such activity for the benefit of all.

Pour libations for the ancestors.
