Neat and tragic topic. EXCELLENT presenter. I would like to see more presentations from her.
She used the necklaces to tell the 'myth' of dolphin, after that, she used the myth to present the history of rubber. AN EXCELLENT PRESENTATION!!!
The Amazonian dolphins are also known as Botos and they are involved in a legend in the northern region of Brazil, usually told to justify a single woman's pregnancy, because of its shape shifting powers. Thus, the children without known father are called, sometimes, sons of boto.
"I saw the objects of my elders/ancestors and I was healed." That is a really powerful sentiment right there, and I would give much to see the objects of mine.
I always look forward to these videos, they've become my favourite way of learning about world history. I'd never known about necklaces like these, such a fascinating window into the world and its varied cultures.
aw man, that last sentiment was beautiful.
These videos are all amazing. I'm really enjoying all of the Curator's Corners.
One of the most interesting episodes yet. I enjoyed this curator. Would love to see more.
Wow! That was so powerful! I am always amazed at the detail historical events behind these sort of items. Thank you so very much for sharing them.
Stunning video. You combine history, biology, anthropology, economics, and art all in one short video! Great job!
Thank you so much for these videos. You heve so much to tell so many people who cannot visit the museum. This is a very important gift to the world.
Very cool topic I had no idea about. More of curator Laura and her massive knowledge about the Amazon and its people please!
What an interesting video. Thank you so much for sharing this and explaining it especially well. It’s very clear that you love your work and have great respect for the history and significance of these necklaces. Meeting the elders, hearing their stories and learning from them must have been a wonderful experience. So sad the suffering we inflict upon each other.
I hate it when dolphins crash my parties. That fish was for everyone :\
She matched her gloves, shirt, filing cabinet, scenery out the window and even some of the books all in green. Even the sticker on the right side of the bookshelf is green. Very coordinated.
Thank you very much for that lesson on the Amazonian culture and history that I'm sure a lot of people didn't know about. It was very sad and also interesting at the same time. Strange how such an item can mean so much to the Tribal Elders and we look at them as just another piece of jewelry. I hope the Elders left there with some peace within themselves, with any connection they made with their Elders. So educational! Great Job!!
So fascinating! This ought to be shown in classrooms!
I really like those short "Curator's Corner" Videos. Keep them coming.
This is quite fascinating & also very moving. I find this mythology worthy of deeper study.
This is absolutley fascinating. Thank you so much
