Huilliche welcoming ceremony

Three women perform a welcoming ceremony including speaking to what seems like a divine being in front of a tree that they have brought out. They take turns speaking in front of this tree and throw white ceremonial powder on it. At the conclusion of the ceremony, they sing a song together.
