that article is great, i used it several times in my final paper.
i also agree with your message.
the area i'm going into is going to be interesting in that regard. the huastec were considered to be savages by the aztec, partly because they had rituals that involved getting drunk and naked, both of which were considered shameful behaviors. i feel like the huastec were almost celebrating and encouraging the other groups' perception of them. there's lots of levels of resistance that i'd like to look at in huastec culture.
ps: dancing wasn't all that great, really. and i'll go to the show.
I'm hoping your final went better than your suspicions...
Very interesting. Something I never thought about. Again, though, it's sad to see how much is lost in such a short period of time. In just a few generations, enough information is lost that there are significant discoveries to be made. There's got to be a better way to record history.
