hehe
here comes our resident Paraguayan expert
@Timeward I would argue that Brazil has more of it than Paraguay, but its not that accessible to the standard population
very sad
maybe in our more western states its more pronounced than where I am
again, like the USA
There's a lot of paralels between the brazillian and american expansions
interesting how the naive history also seems to remain a stronger influence in warmer climates
and was all but eliminated in the temperate climates
at least in the US
Apart from the the language and social structure, we didn't keep much
That's flat out untrue, there are millions of Iroquois still alive
Canada has a strong native presence in the northern regions
perhaps it's just because they have been displaced from the east coast for the most part
only groups of I know are out west, but you'd know better i think
Back to Paraguay, some purebred natives still exist
could be wrong
And there's a weird reverence towards them
were they able to preserve their history, written or otherwise?
Despite the fact that the state doesn't help that often
They didn't have any writing, about preserving their history I don't know. But they have maintained plenty of cultural traditions
This is a celebration of the Chaco natives
Chaco is the region in western Paraguay
that's good at least. I know that alot of European zealots were determine to destroy any history of the natives during colonization and destroyed anything they found in writing they didn't understand
They were determined to destroy aspects of it in Paraguay too, they just couldn't quite succeed
Most of the natives wear western clothing but that's about it, some of them can speak Spanish, but because most of the mestizo population already speaks guarani (the largest native ethnic group) they often speak that instead
Interesting... I know very little about Brazil but even less about Paraguay i'm afraid.
Stupid green-go.
In fairness you have no reason to know the South
I'll tell you what weird though. Fernheim colony in the Chaco
this is true.
sounds german
It's were the Mennonites live
ah
mennonites are a type of Amish?
fuck thjis
They're germans that ran away from Europe for religious persecution
