That's flat out untrue, there are millions of Iroquois still alive

2020-03-14 19:10:40 UTC  

Canada has a strong native presence in the northern regions

2020-03-14 19:10:54 UTC  

perhaps it's just because they have been displaced from the east coast for the most part

2020-03-14 19:11:44 UTC  

only groups of I know are out west, but you'd know better i think

2020-03-14 19:11:44 UTC  

Back to Paraguay, some purebred natives still exist

2020-03-14 19:11:49 UTC  

could be wrong

2020-03-14 19:12:17 UTC  

And there's a weird reverence towards them

2020-03-14 19:12:30 UTC  

were they able to preserve their history, written or otherwise?

2020-03-14 19:12:42 UTC  

Despite the fact that the state doesn't help that often

2020-03-14 19:13:46 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 19:15:02 UTC  

Chaco is the region in western Paraguay

2020-03-14 19:15:55 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 19:17:19 UTC  

They were determined to destroy aspects of it in Paraguay too, they just couldn't quite succeed

2020-03-14 19:19:41 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 19:20:50 UTC  

Interesting... I know very little about Brazil but even less about Paraguay i'm afraid.

2020-03-14 19:21:02 UTC  

Stupid green-go.

2020-03-14 19:21:48 UTC  

In fairness you have no reason to know the South

2020-03-14 19:22:34 UTC  

I'll tell you what weird though. Fernheim colony in the Chaco

2020-03-14 19:22:47 UTC  

this is true.

2020-03-14 19:22:53 UTC  

sounds german

2020-03-14 19:23:02 UTC  

It's were the Mennonites live

2020-03-14 19:23:07 UTC

2020-03-14 19:23:24 UTC  

mennonites are a type of Amish?

2020-03-14 19:23:41 UTC

2020-03-14 19:23:48 UTC  

They're germans that ran away from Europe for religious persecution

2020-03-14 19:23:48 UTC  

"thanks for the completely forced endorsement, original me!"

2020-03-14 19:23:52 UTC  

actual sentence

2020-03-14 19:23:57 UTC  

They're clowning on everyone but it's still bad

2020-03-14 19:24:19 UTC

2020-03-14 19:24:23 UTC  

They're like the Amish

2020-03-14 19:24:46 UTC
