Your ceramics flutes are wonderful.I am a ceramic teacher at Calabasas high in California. I have been teaching how to make ceramic flutes, and I have a problem with the mouth piece, they do not whistle clearly, please email me back, please teach me, so I CAN TEACH THE STUDENTS WELL
Good job in refering to us as Native Americans, cause that what we are, even thounh we prefer the term Naturales of this land, wich means people that belong to this continent.
One simply cannot discuss the great Mesoamerican cultures for more than a few seconds before someone invokes the issue of human sacrifice. The truth is that systematic human sacrifice was part of all high cultures, whether in the form of war, capital punishment, witch hunting, etc. Of course it was in the old Spaniard's interest, as it is in present day western societies, to comment only on the Other's cultural peculiarities and not on their own. It is all part of the rhetoric of dominance.
If you want to do something really novel and take the plunge into the realm of understanding, then I suggest one begins by stripping away any pretensions regarding ones own culture's values and start a dialog free of paternalism, defensiveness, name calling, and with an eye towards understanding and mutual respect.
Listen to the instruments as demonstrated and try to tap into your sense of spiritualism or at least curiosity and save the unsalutory commentary for your personal diaries.
We speak of this harshly loud, and politically incorrect, because this is about something monstrous that has been done to our people. We therefore are making a loud outraged demand for truth and justice. Quiet and meek do not get heard. Passive and fearful is silence. To not confront this colonial monstrosity is to be a coward and a traitor to truth and justice.
Truth can be liberating to both the oppressed and the oppressor. Do not deny the truth to the world and do not deny us justice. Justice is the only thing that brings peace to humanity. This page is dedicated to truth and justice for all of the Nican Tlaca (Indigenous people) of the "Western Hemisphere". We hope that all of humanity finds truth and justice by our example. And, please understand our righteous anger. It is our humanity screaming out to the world!
We are screaming louder and harsher over the white supremacists lies and injustices that we are fed every day. To continue to speak softly on this would be to actively participate in our own genocide, we would not be heard over the shouts of the daily white supremacy that rules our lives and that wants to bring death to us as a race and as the owners of this continent.
To be angry, as we are, because of the hidden injustices (stolen continent, holocaust, genocide, destruction of our civilizations, and other monstrous crimes) is not about hate, nor is it racist, it is about an urgent demand for a truth and justice that we are owed, a demand for the return of our honor and our full humanity. Would any other human being demand anything less?
Thank you, 21cascas21, for your pointed commentary. These ahistorical people, used to sucking on the teets of ignorance, selective historical amnesia, fabricated glory, never seem to understand the extent of their inhumanity. They are afraid to confront the truth for it will reveal their criminal collusion, and all that will be left to them is the ugliness in their mirrors.
bigmandrei, are you and 21cascas21 insinuating that the caucasians of the United States and Canada are all oppressors and "white supremacists?"
I sincerely hope not. I find the Chicano Independence Movement to be founded on extremely gross hypocrisy, because its vocal proponents and activists are descended from a mixture of Native American and European bloodlines.
Most Latinos are every bit as foreign and native as those you would call "white." There's no need for a "Reconquista Movement."
No, of course not , child, we are talking about oppressors. Our words were clear.
And there is no "Chicano Independence Movement"...never has been. You perhaps refer to the so called Chicano Movement; that is a different thing, of course. More to the point neither of us mentioned the word "Chicano" at all.
See, this is what I spelled out. People do not know history, then construct premises built on bull shit & make accusations of hypocrisy to events that don't exist.
bigmandrel: Now that was highly uncalled for. I do not appreciate your condescending arrogance in the slightest.
I did not respond to you simply to feed your egoism or give you a chance to question the education of yet another person.
I wanted clarification, because the comments the two of you posted here have similar tones to groups like MEChA, Nation of Atzlan, and other Chicano nationalist organizations.
bigmandrel: Unlike your implication that I lack a GED simply because I speak of a movement you wrongly believe does not exist, there *IS* such a thing as a Chicano independence movement, and no, I was not referring to the Chicano Movement of the 1960s/1970s.
"Chicano nationalist movement" might be a better name than "Chicano independence movement," but it is just another name for the same set of ideas--ideas which very much exist and have been expressed by groups in recent times.
bigmandrel: Or take the Mexica Movement, who goes even further than most Chicano nationalists and wants anyone of European descent living in North America deported back to Europe.
Do apologize for your assumption that anyone who speaks to you has a lesser degree of education, and apologize for your egotistic patronizing while you're at it. It's very unbecoming of you.
Hi Brujo de la Mancha. I really enjoyed seeing your instruments and listening to them. You are a great maker and player of clay instruments. Thank you, Brujo de la Mancha, for sharing your art. I hope you can hear a song I played with a four chamber clay flute. Search on You Tube for "Xi Na Tse."
Hey theres a japanese guy on youtube by the name of "heita3" who also makes experimantal flutes/ocarinas but out of vegetibles. Both Central-Native Americans and the Japanese are so creative and innovated and both had advanced cultures for their time.
...That is weird, but very cool. It must have been a very powerful experience to hear that at a human sacrifice...glad I didn't live anywhere near there.
It's a widely held believe that Native Americans in Mexico sacrificed humans out of devotion to their gods. What's your source of information? How do you know the Spanish lied about human sacrifice?
Is a widely know that the Spanish use, still and destroy all the good things about us.
We have a lot of information for that. The first Spanish who came were salvages and under educated and they lie. Spain was looking for gold they do anything for have the gold.
Kill, rape, destory, and educated the natives to hate the own race. That is what the Spanish did to us.
The sound's coming from your instrument's are very good ,love the neckless and the smaller flute .
