But yes, those are performances.
Serious Ceremonial Dancing is something else. They are “Men’s business” or “Women’s business” and not open to general public.
Those take a long time to prepare and last for days …

No, I don’t think so. The tree seedlings were perhaps donated and the Ferals are volunteers.. So, they just made a festive day out of it.
My concern was about stabilizing the riverbank and if those trees were flood tolerant fruit trees?
Haven’t been there, but I imagine those river flats with wet palm forests or this kind of native vegetation and trees (and then they’ll become wildlife corridors etc):
