Judy, thank you so much for the beautiful pictures of the Seri dancers! I really wish I could have seen them. I'm glad I got back in time for Don
and I to get in a good visit with you and Jim, hope we can do it again before too long. And I hope you found a good place for some relaxing time on
your way home.

That was a wonderful video-- a glimpse into Seri culture. I thought I saw the person in your previous avitar in the film? I had often wonered about
that photo.
Judy, did the dancers in Loreto use any percussion or instruments with their chanting?

No, they used something that looked like tin cans with fabric tied to them and possibly pebbles inside? I will downsize a photo I have of one.
no drums.
they danced on a board in a way that I would call almost clogging. the video of gnu's shows the male dancer with shells around his calves...my guess
would be that you have to earn those shells....that is strictly a guess.
anyway, I have some more shots that I will download tomorrow.

Judy, thanks for the photos of the
siri indians. I'm so sorry I was unaware of this happening. Your post takes me back. As a college student at the U. of A.-1965-1969, mis amigos y mi
would often get away to Kino Bay, to study for finals!!!! We ususually encountered the Siris, and Never have I encoutered a more inquisitive people. I
believe it wasn't many years prior that these indians were relocated from isla tiburon by the gobierno. They were rumored to have been cannibals, and
nobody would mess with them. Their village, Desemboque was maybe 15 miles north of Kino. Upon entering their domain, all would surround your vehicle
and press their faces to the windows, and beg for anything, pulling at your shirts. These were forgotten people, relocated to an unfamiliar place.
Somewhere along the way, someone placed some very crude tools with them, and introduced carving of ironwood. We would give them the clothes we could,
the shirts off our backs, and receive their very rustic carvings-turtles-roadrunners-quail-whales. Years later, these carvings appeared everywhere,
and still do, tho from factories in Hermosillo. I wonder if the Siris still carve. I'm pretty happy i have some originals. My last visit was 1975, and
little had changed. Wished I could have visited with them, so glad things are better for them.

Are the Siri the ones that make the beautiful bead coated animals and other trincut that are for sale in Loreto ? When we were there in January we
went into a store and one of the Siri indians was makeing them. Very nice.The goverment built cement block houses for the Siri in desomboke. The Siri
built hut outside of them. They would not live in them. They would only use them for storage.That is what we saw in the late seventies
