Kianidi Festival

The Kianidi Festival is a week long event held annually between 15 and 21 Erastus by Garundi people everywhere. The Garundi have a powerful belief in belonging to a specific location in this world, with clans or tribes sometimes traveling for years in search of their true home. In these travels each individual will collect small mementos of the places she or he has visited in order to remember them and maintain a spiritual connection. During the Kianidi, a tribe will gather and display these mementos to the group. The best ones are chosen and made part of the clan or tribal history, something which Garundi feel is a great honor.
