We Tripantu

Hi, today I´m will talk about "We tripantu" or the new year indigenous in Chile. This festivity to do between 20 and 24 of June, in the winter soltice. It celebrate every year and It mean for the people the revive of the nature. They think that It's very important because mark the moment when finished the time harvest and the shore rested for the new period.

It born because the indigenous always were studying their environment, they knew when be the equinox and solstice because they observed the trajectorys of the sun; with this knowledge they created the annual calendar for can live in armony with the earth.

In this festivity all celebrate with differents activities such as: the typical dances an music, rites around the fire, the prayers and acts for the purification.

I never have the opportunity to go, but I like this activity because I think that is beatiful celebrate the moment in the year for revive, and observe who revive the earth, with their trees and animals, including we: the humans.
