The ceremony called saldi is held before eating the meat of animals
which have died of disease or have fallen from a cliff.
Pieces of the animals' liver are thrown in various directions while
the mambunong addresses the bilig living in the pasture lands of the
animal, asking that sickness may not result from eating the meat.
After the meat has been cooked, the mambunong invites the fire and the
pot to eat first, in order that the people who eat may not become sick.
This ceremony, which corresponds to the Nabaloi salchi, is celebrated
in all Benguet Kankanay towns, and also in Bacun, Amburayan, and in
Ampusungan and Mancayan, Lepanto.
