Growing Time

The nezumi season of the Growing Time began after the Lean Time of each year ended and the Nezumi Tribe arrived to the desired place during the Walking Time. Two or three days after the Rite of Naming, the scouts returned from their journeys, and reported to the Chieftain of the tribe, who announced where the tribe would Walk for the season of the Growing Time. For many tribes, the camps for the Lean Time and the Growing Time were the same every year.
