Between June 21 and 24, We Tripantu or wüñoy Tripantu is celebrated, which translates to a new sunrise and the moon, is a festival and is the most sacred moment for the Mapuche people.

The We Tripantu is the date where the maximum point of distance that the sun can reach from the earth occurs, therefore, from this point the return begins, which represents a new beginning. This means, a change in the cycle of life and agrarian, whose clear sign is the winter solstice.

In this celebration, the Mapuche are summoned and make their journey from the 4 cardinal points to meet in fraternal sentiment not only among themselves, but with their ancestors and Superior Entities on the night that begins the cycle that precedes that of the shoots, the new life in the Ñuke Mapu, mother Earth, who is reborn with the rains.

The celebration begins the evening of the previous day, before the sun sets, by means of prayers in Mapudungún. Then, in the early morning of the We Tripantü the whole family: old people, young people and children get up early and go to the estuary to bathe. Along with this, an individual prayer ceremony is held. In addition, the family is preparing on that occasion to celebrate the Bakutun, a ceremony where all the relatives of both parties participate. This consists in that the girl receives a second mother who at the same time acts as a namesake (Baku) and is given the clothing of the Mapuche woman, along with the earrings, since it is the namesake (in this case) that performs the ceremony of piercing the ears (Katan pilun), so that the girl begins to wear the earrings.

Would they have saved time?

A hexbear was going home from Kiev. They rode halfway–fifteen times as fast as they go on foot. The second half they went by ox team. They can walk twice as fast as that. Would they have saved time if they had gone all the way on foot? How much?
