I bear none of them ill will , because what is past is past and it is difficult to judge them by what we know today. I do enjoy the dances and I have been to Cherokee & Choctaw gatherings with some of my relatives who still participate. Always be proud of what and who you are.
I'm one of those people, a Gringo, but have the blood of many peoples flowing through my veins as many today do. I've been lucky enough to walk through the towns of far away frozen Norway where my fathers family comes from a long unbroken chain in those lands. Many on my mothers side came from the towns and cities of Scotland, England and Ireland, and I have walked across the great mounds of the Midwest where my some of my ancestors also come from. Yes, I am the son of many people who
struggled through time not knowing what tomorrow may bring, but they did live, and I look at myself in the mirror and wonder at the tremendous sacrifice of those long past to bring me into being. My name is also very old, last used some 500 years ago by one my ancestors from a frozen little town in Norway, which is above the arctic circle. Many of my ancestors were once enemies in wars and invasions of centuries long past, members of great kingdoms, and armies long since turned to dust.
@GGMacarthur Not sure why that went to you it was a comment to someone who was asking how the Maya "vanished", maybe it was the person who removed the comment above yours.
This is our war dance i believe, many say it's not a real traditional dance however when your old culture is erased then rebuild it and create new dances and mix it with ancient ones
ok ok how the hell do they no tht the Mayans danced like this when there culture was well wepted out by spain ???? part from tht they only have pics on walls of temples thts it
There were people of the Maya tribes who kept their traditions alive, and language in secret from the Spanish It's similar to how the indigenous people of North America are still thriving
How off can you be? Mayans where mexicans they lived in southern mexico like the states of Yucatán, Chiapas,Quintana Roo, Campeche, Villahermosa, and parts of Oaxaca and Veracruz their are countless tribes over mexico you obviously aren't educated so maybe next time get your facts straight before saying anything :)
Been there. It's one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The dances and entertainment will put chills down your spine. You FEEL the music.
Awesome!

@GGMacarthur There are hundreds of thousands of Maya alive and well. Most Guatemalans have Maya blood.

This is our war dance i believe, many say it's not a real traditional dance however when your old culture is erased then rebuild it and create new dances and mix it with ancient ones
Mayans were not mexican, they were guatemalan, people often confuse the tribes..aztecs were the mexican ones
