It is painted with the crests and clan symbols of the host chief and serves as the backdrop for the speakers and drummers overseeing the ceremony. The dancers emerge from behind the screen and enter the ceremonial hall with a central fire and a ring of spectators representing family, local clans and guests who all are invited to witness and validate the proceedings.
