According to traditional custom, between three and five o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Harvest Festival, members of the youngest age grade would go from house to house to "spread the news", telling the members of the tribe that the Festival was about to begin.
在傳統習俗中，豐年祭前夕由最低年齡階層的成員，在凌晨三到五點挨家挨戶地「報信息」，告訴族人豐年祭即將登場的儀式。
