The sixth year of the Sigui ceremonies, celebrated every sixty years by the Dogons of the Bandiagara cliffs, Mali, takes place in the village of Iamé. Men put on their ornaments and enter the village to drink beer. Dignitaries symbolically turn the Sigui to the West where it should happen the following year.
