Tambe with Powder, Waileni 1 of 2

Honoring or 'tambetambe' is an important part of community life. The ritual took place after a young couple's wedding and the baptism of their baby. Friends and neighbors including Bill Rodman made speeches in their honor, gave them gifts or money, and with much laughter, doused them with baby powder.
