During this time, the Kuru which is a sacred tree is shading leaves. At this time, the Kuru tree bears Red Flowers. The community claims that Kuru tree is the tree of deity Takideghe. This is because the Takideghe forbades any Furupa man to use canoe dug out of the Kuru tree. If any Furupa man use the canoe, the deity sometimes drag down the canoe inside the water for people not to see it. Sometimes when the tree is use, the deity come to tap at the canoe making strange sounds. In olden days, this deity used to give food to people when there were hungry and cried to it for help.
