Malalikid is a major Sakizaya festival. Pre-ritual welcoming of the ancestral spirits such as minahanah practiced in the Maliyun tribe and padongi’ in the Sakur tribe is essential to the Salizaya way of worship. Other proceedings include visiting the mourning families and tribe forum foreground the importance of mapalaway i.e. the Salizaya priest.
Another practice that distinguishes the Maliyun tribe in Ruisui Township from the Amis around Xiuguluan River is that they hold bihkac, a bird-catching ritual. In miliwliw, a ritual in which the Salizaya youth is summoned, shows how the social organization based on age class known as masaselal occupies a central place in collective mobilization in preparation for annual festivals.
According to report of the Sakizaya scholar, Hong Qingyi (2008), members of the age class system are to gather rattan and butcher a hog to collect its liver and heart for ceremonial purposes. On the first day of the festival, men bring game and meet at dabek (men’s hall) for a purging dance; the welcoming of spirits and announcement take place in the morning on the following day, and all men are to have lunch with their age class fellows in a banquet. Guests are feasted on the third day with continuous singing and dancing. Finally, people go through pakelang (“collective fishing”) and group chat to reflect on the undertakings to mark the end of celebration and return to everyday life.
撒奇萊雅族重要節慶,祭典前的minahnah(馬立雲部落)或padongi’(撒固兒部落)是極具撒奇萊雅特色的迎靈祭祖、慰問喪家、匯集部落族人意見等儀式,其過程也呈現祭師(mapalaway)的重要性;同為祭前的前置儀式,瑞穗馬立雲部落的集體bihkac(捕鳥)也具有別於鄰近秀姑巒阿美族;miliwliw召集青年的儀式更凸顯Malalikid將年齡組織作為動員人群和以部落為主體的集體歲時祭儀的特性。
據同族學者洪清一(2008)於磯崎的紀錄,祭前年齡組織採藤心、殺豬,豬肝與豬心用於祭祀。首日男子備好獵肉於會所前進行驅穢舞;翌日早上,進行迎靈與報訊,中午則以年齡組織為單位進行男子會餐。第三日宴請外賓並持續樂舞,終日則進行pakelang慶祝完工與會後檢討,回歸日常生活。
