Ninannah

Ninannah is a territory that is known as "The Land of the Spirit Bear" to outsiders. This area is the second place Fushi visits. While there, he meets March and, eventually, Parona.

Geography
Ninannah is a large territory with many different villages. The closest region to Yanome houses about 40 villages and seems to be quite far away, as it took March and Parona about 20+ days to arrive in Yanome. March and Parona's village is located in a wooded area near a body of water.

The Ninannah eat with there hands and, during meals, they will put sticks (similar to chopsticks) behind their ears. Their diet seems to consist of meat, fish, berries, fruit, and potatoes.

It can be assumed that they hunt with a bow and arrow and a hunting knife; as Parona is seen with a knife around her waist and, along with many men, can be seen practicing archery.

Religion
Every year, a village in Ninannah is selected to chose a sacrifice for a ritual. This ritual thanks the Oniguma (Spirit Bear) that blesses Ninannah with peace and prosperity. Tradition calls for the Yanome to carry out the selection of the young girl that will be used in the ritual.

Until the ritual is carried out, the girl will be accompanied by a Yanome soldier everywhere she goes. No men, not even the father, can approach her.

On the day of the ritual, a banquet is held and will be the last day the selected child will be in the village. Over the next three days, the group of Yanome soldiers and the girl will climb the mountain. Once they reach the altar, the Yanome will quickly perform the ritual and leave the girl's body without waiting for the Oniguma to descend. If anything remains after one year, they will collect it and return it to the family.
