Ewar walks into the Morusipo hill range with colleagues to seek out an elim tree. Having found one, he finds an appropriate branch and cuts it off, commencing the constrution of an ekichielong headrest/stool. After an initial failed attempt, due to a crack in the first piece of wood selected, and with some assistance from a visiting friend, he crafts a second piece into the rough form of an ekichielong, ready to be refined over the days ahead.
The form of ekichielong made by Ewar on this occasion is more or less ubiquitous across Turkana. In the deeper past, other forms of ekichielong were made, such as those reffered to as emakuk and aporokocho. Neither of these two past forms of headrest/stool are common today.
