This ask is a bit of a funny, i think of humans trying to explain human celebrations or customs like Christmas or prank wars to na'vi and them trying to emulate it so the humans feel comfortable? Like Dr Augustin mentioned one holiday at her school and na'vi go ham for it!
Oooooooooooooh~!! This one will be interesting~!! Hope you all like this one as much as I did! XD
--------------------------
Happy Holidays!
The Omatikaya clan has plenty of rituals, ceremonies, traditions, and their own special holidays.
So when the humans explain what celebrations were done back on their native planet, the na'vi were VERY interested. They wanted to know everything and what were the stories or reasons behind it.
Grace Augustine explained to her students at one time in her school what holidays were and what type were celebrated back on the Earth.
As the na'vi children took in more information about the holidays, there were three they loved the most: Mother's day, Father's day and Halloween.
Christmas they couldn't understand. How can humans let some large man inside their home through a tiny pipe and can fly top speed across the world while using poor animals to carry the heavy weight of gifts?
So many years later, during the peace with the humans and the na'vi. Those students of Dr. Grace, they never forgotten about their three favorite human holidays.
But as a refresher the students, now fully grown adults, would ask the humans about the holidays once more. And once more, mother's day, father's day, and Halloween remained to be their favorite ones.
That gave the humans an idea, by counting the current time of earth, mother's day is getting close. So that will be the holiday to celebrate.
It was a holiday to look forward to. As mothers, they care and treasure their children. Willing to protect and love their beloved children. Through pain and tears the mothers deliver the future from their body.
Even Eywa was praised more as she is a mother to all of pandora. She is the mother who loved and gives life to the na'vi and their world.
The children and mates would craft, and create things for the mothers to keep and remember forever. Beads, new tops, favorite foods, etc.
During the communal dinner to celebrate, children would sing and dance about what they love about their mothers, mates would praise their beloveds and share moments that are pure and full of love.
Neytiri and other fellow mothers truly felt seen and high appreciated. A day to remember. And all agreed to keep celebrating it every years.
And father's day was no different.
By sharing information, the young children and mates began to prepare for the coming father's day. Despite the na'vi seeing humans strange with their customs, they have to admit, celebrating a parent truly is a wonderful reason to celebrate as parents they give and protect their children. Efforts must be recognized and appreciated.
Hell, even neytiri and her children were preparing things for jake. As he had given and sacrificed much for them.
The males knew something was about but sensing it was something good, they rather not intervene their families suspicious activities as knowing they would find out soon.
So what father's day arrived, it was full of laughter, smiles and wonderful moments. The fathers were given wonderful gifts from their families.
Children crafted their own things believing it would be useful for their strong fathers, mates crafting a bead as a momentum or giving praise. Truly a wonderful day for the strong fathers.
And months later, Halloween came. Now this one the humans loved and put their all in sharing the festivities with the na'vi.
The children had a better concept of what to do. Dressing up and be something you're not for a day? How exciting!
With the help of the adults, many kids had fascinating costumes, some dressed as their favorite animals, pretending to be a different na'vi clan.
The humans dressed up as classical monsters and had fun telling the na'vi what each monster was and telling to many stories during communal dinner.
Of course what is Halloween without treats? Everyone part took in creating sweet treats for the young ones and according to the humans, the children go to each hut and ask for treats.
By the end of the night, stories from Earth was told. From vampires, werewolves, Skinwalkers, ghosts, zombies, etc.
To say...the na'vi were so glad those monsters dont roam on pandora.
aaaaaaaand that is it for this one! Hope you all enjoyed it! Until next time! see ya!
