These rituals are very rare. Besides implemented once and for all, this ritual is also the highest hierarchy in the manner customary banquet Bajawa.
A new village worthy of being part of life Bajawa tradition if it has been running this ritual. However, the stages that must be met may take decades. For example, at Pali Analoka, villages covering an area of 1,000 square meters with a population of 180 people it has 12 custom homes. The 12-custom homes it must first inaugurated with the ritual Ka Sao, there was a ritual Ka Nua.
