AN•TAWA CEREMONIES 3 • Day 4 – PREPARING FOR CEREMONIES
Our fourth day began with a procession to carry our four Sacred Staffs of AN to the Tower of AN. Once the Staffs were in position, we entered the Eleven Circles playing our Drums of AN. It was magnificent, as always. In the afternoon, we prepared bottles of sacred water for our next two days of ceremonies.
We had an early night, for we would depart the Heart of AN the next day at 4:00 in the morning. HERE WE ARE! MORE TO COME….

- Once our Sacred Staffs were in position, we stood in the outer circle. It was time to introduce our Drums of AN here.

- One by one as ONE, we stepped closer and closer to the center. This was the first time that the new Drums of AN had been played.
