Abstract	Abstract: Nyethriidow is the annual festival celebrated by the Akas, typically following the harvest season, during which the community renews its bonds, offers thanks, and cleanses their environment and spirits. During festival villages are thoroughly cleaned and water sources are purified, symbolising the removal of evil influences. The community gathers to drive out evil spirits, invoke blessings for peace, health, good harvest, prosperity for children, crops, cattle and all members of the society. Traditional dances, music and cultural performances dominate the celebration, strengthening communal identity and passing on cultural memory.
