I didn’t know that… But I find them to be inspiring if anything.
You cannot believe how much I would want that!
A link to the book on archive is now included. It was eaten after I included the Djadek picture.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pueblo_Revolt
During the Spanish colonization of the Pueblo peoples of New Mexico, the Franciscan missionaries and Spanish authorities tried to ban various aspects of traditional Pueblo life. This included many of their religious rituals like dances and Kachina dolls. A Tewa indian known as Pope organized a revolt among the various Pueblo peoples. This was difficult to organize as they lived in villages apart from each other and many spoke completely unrelated languages. However, in order to help organizing the revolt, runners were sent to the surrounding villages with a cord with knots. Each day the runners would release a knot and when they were all undone the revolt would start. The Pueblo Revolt succeeded, kicked the Spanish out, and became one of the first successful revolts against a European colonial power.
Today, many aspects of Pueblo life that Pope protected are still practiced by the Pueblo peoples.

2·8 days agoOh cool. And Thanks!
If your translation is true, it could track with what we know from other folkloric sources at the same time, even if the exact details are a bit embelished. There are other texts that describe people swearing on the sun or moon, giving special attention to the full or new moon when rituals or certain actions are to be performed. Or watching the sun rise on certain special days.
Reminds me of this guy: https://truehumanhistory.com/
His website is a long run down of why evolution is fake, giants being real and such. And he lives in a car he has fitted with all sorts of utensils like a shower, bed, vaccum cleaner and such. 3 things really get me:
- He has a boiler plate in the car, and he films himself cooking in the car so it must smell like s***
- Despite at all times being half a meter away from the open air, he fits a treadmill inside in his car
- In spite of being a conspiracy nut who thinks feminism is brainwashing and large parts of society being fake, he still owns Netflix

2·10 days agoIf you like that, then just wait till you hear about the greatest Danish, early modern antiquarian, Ole Worm. He made a, by the standards of the time, very scientific cabinets of curiosities, the first of its kind in Denmark, and correctly identified the origin of unicorn horns (narwhales)

He also penned a cover letter that ordered all bishops in Denmark to report on local folklore, and compiled their accounts into a big book. So he’ll probably be featured in a post one day.
