MORE 2017 plums. MORE!!!!!!

So, I was on the phone && I fkn felt the shake... like earthquake small tremble. HOLY SHIEEEET!!! Good think my emergency kit is by my bed. Ugh.... fuck. God must be really angry at us. He’s drowning Texas && he’ll sink California. Oh well.... ok, moving on.

What shall I share today??? More indigenous music? Let us do that. I’m still stuck in the Mesoamerican region, I promise I’ll move toward Native Americans for the last few days && perhaps one South American group. Per Wikipedia:

The Chichimeca peoples were primarily of eight nations that spoke different languages. As the Spaniards worked towards consolidating the rule of New Spain over the indigenous peoples during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Chichimecan nations resisted fiercely. A number of native groups of the region allied with the Spanish. The most long-lasting of these conflicts (1550–91) was the Chichimeca War, resulting in the defeat of the Spanish Empire and a decisive victory for the Chichimeca Confederation.

Many of the peoples known broadly as Chichimeca are virtually unknown today; few descriptions recorded their names and they seem to have been absorbed into mestizo culture or into other indigenous ethnic groups. For example, virtually nothing is known about the peoples referred to as the Guachichil, Caxcan, Zacateco, Tecuexe, or Guamare. Others, such as the Opata or Eudeve, are well described in records but extinct as a people.

Still, other Chichimec peoples maintain separate identities into the present day, for example, the Otomi, Chichimeca Jonaz, Cora, Huichol, Pame, Yaqui, Mayo, O'odham and the Tepehuan peoples.

They appear to be a hunter-gatherer people that don’t necessarily follow any deities like their counterparts. I’m assuming that their dances or art was personal && embedded in their dress. Here is a dance I found wherein you the different attire they were (in comparison to Aztecs). It’s not as elaborate && it’s quite light && easy for them as semi-nomadic people. Enjoy!
