Maho is a festival dedicated to the ancestral spirits after the harvest of millet. The name of this festival varies from region to region, and people have different concepts on the nature and time of occurrence of the festival. When the crops of millet are stored, the chief would preside over a council to decide when to hold the festival; the preparation of marinated meat, millet rice cake and millet wine is then scheduled according to the date. On the day of Maho, members of the tribe gather to the venue for worship to observe a rite led by the chief to thank the ancestral spirits and pray for harvest.
祖靈祭為小米豐收後的祭祀祭儀,各地對這個儀式有不同稱呼,認知與舉行時間也存在差異,然而儀式本身卻都共享同樣的邏輯-即在收穫後祭祀祖靈。小米收穫入倉後,由頭目舉行會議商討祖靈祭舉辦時間,日期確定後,製作醃肉、小米黏糕與小米酒,在祖靈祭當天部落成員行至祭祀地點,由頭目負責舉行祭儀,祈求豐收與感謝祖靈庇佑。
