  • yay, new video!

  • WOW. The dance itself appears to be not much, until you learn about it, and realize that the meaning is so astronomical. This is the tragically magical effect of colonial degradation of cultural context and significance...so parallel to the doings of "america" to EVERYTHING Native on their OWN lands, things Hawaiian, to EVERYTHING African, the doings of england to "australia", "new zealand", the doings of the spaniards to all of central and south "america", doings of portugal to "brazil". Shame.
