botod
A traditional ceremony in which two white chickens are killed and their blood is sprinkled around inside a newly built house, or on a newly built boat.
Some people believe that spirits, or small, invisible people, live on the land the house is built on, and the blood is payment to these spirits so that they will leave and not make the people living in the house sick.
