28. Revue
EnglishFrench bilingual journal disseminating knowledge about activities concerning folklore and ethnology, in Canada and elsewhere.
http://www.fl.ulaval.ca/celat/acef/revue.htm
En 1979, l'Association canadienne d'ethnologie et de folklore fondait la revue Canadian Folklore Canadien.
Canadian Folklore Canadien devient Ethnologies
Canadian Folklore Canadien par Ethnologies . Les membres sont de l'avis que ce nouveau nom reflète davantage les champs d'intérêt couverts par la revue, qui déborde largement maintenant le domaine des arts et traditions populaires et qui traite autant de culture matérielle que des nouvelles formes d'expressions de la culture. De plus, l'Assemblée a reconnu que le lectorat francophone, notamment en Europe, avait de la difficulté à situer le contenu de la revue dans le contexte disciplinaire. En effet, le terme "folklore" est marqué d'une connotation péjorative et est souvent associé au colonialisme par le sens commun. Le nouveau nom devrait permettre à la revue de jouir d'un accueil plus favorable tant au Québec que dans le reste de la francophonie, puisque celui-ci illustre beaucoup mieux la portée de la revue.

30. MONTE ALBAN
Includes an illustrated tour.
http://www.sfu.ca/archaeology/museum/laarch/tour/monte/monte1.html
WELCOME TO MONTE ALBAN Monte Alban is located in the present state of Oaxaca, Mexico, just outside of Oaxaca City. Monte Alban emerged as the center of political authority in the Valley of Oaxaca around 400 B.C., because it commanded the best terrain in the valley for agriculture and dense settlement. The city developed as a ceremonial center over several hundred years, from 500 BC to 700 AD. The Zapotecs ruled Monte Alban throughout this time, but there was significant cultural contact with Teotihucan in the center of Mexico. The collapse of Monte Alban is suggested to be linked with the collapse of Teotihucan, perhaps due to loss of an important trading partner. Though Monte Alban collapsed, the Zapotec culture remains just as distinctive today. Religious worship at Monte Alban was based on ancestor worship and a pantheon of gods. The pottery figure seen here is Xipe Totec from one of the tombs at Monte Alban. Xipe is the flayed god associated with human sacrifice. This god is present among many of the Mesoamerican cultures, including Teotihucan and the Aztecs. After the abandonment of Monte Alban by the Zapotecs, the Mixtecs moved into the Valley, resulting in conlifts between the two cultures which lasted until Spanish Conquest. The Mixtecs utilized Monte Alban tombs for their dead, though they did not occupy the site. The gold pendant shown here is from a Monte Alban tomb dating to the beginning of the 1400s. The pendent represents Mictllanteuhtli, the 'Lord of Death', recognizable by his fleshless jaws.

33. Palenque
Includes an illustrated tour.
http://www.sfu.ca/archaeology/museum/laarch/tour/palenque/palenque.html
PALENQUE Palenque is a Maya ceremonial center built in the modern state of Chiapas, Mexico. It is part of the frontier region of the Classic Maya renowned for its architecture and rich history of rulers. Palenque's history began on March 11, A.D. 431, according to the heiroglyphic texts. The main construction phase began in the 7th century and lasted until about 810 AD. No one knows why the Maya civilization collapsed, but clearly there was a progressive abandonment, and Palenque was one of the first major centers to be given back to the jungle. The physical isolation of Palenque emphasizes the magnificence of its buildings, and the delicacy of the stucco ornamentation. In this way Palenque was unique among the Mayan cities. Two rulers at Palenque, Pacal and Chan-Bahlum, were responsible for the majority of construction. Their ancestry and accomplishments are immortalized in the temples and palaces, as well in the glyphs and stucco tablets adorning the temples. Maya history is recorded in glyph writing, such as seen in the background of these pages, and in the visual artwork of the tablets, such as the image on the right. The Palenque rulers were priest-kings and military rulers that claimed divine descent. Palenque had twelve such rulers, Pacal and Chan-Bahlum being the most remarkable. Pacal, whose name translates to "Shield", is seen on the tablet to the left receiving the divine crownship from his mother, Lady Zac Kuk, who served for short time as ruler. Pacal claimed the throne through his mother by proclaiming she was the mother deity of the three major gods of Maya religion. He did this to override the tradition that descent to the throne can only be achieved through the male line. In the tablet we see Lady Zac Kuk passing the crown to Pacal who is seated on the Double-headed Jaguar Throne. The glyphs in the tablet have the names of the participants, and the explanation of Pacal's accession to the throne. Toward the end of his reign Pacal constructed the Temple of Inscriptions, a masterpiece of Maya architecture, under which his tomb lies. Pacal reigned for 67 years, and was succeeded by his son, Chan-Bahlum ("Snake Jaguar").

Jane's Oceania Home Page exists to provide visitors with a window through which they can view life in various parts of the Pacific Islands. People of the Pacific Islands have long co-existed with the environment - the sea, the sky and the land.
An Islander is a person of the ocean who always has one foot in the water and the other on the land. The sea is like a tonic without which the Islanders cannot live happily - the sea is their life. The sea gives them their food and their tools are their canoes. Like their forefathers of old, the present day fishermen are skilled navigators and canoe builders who are addicted to the sea. They understand the moods of the sea; they are familiar with the stars and the sun, and they breathe inspiration from the prevailing trade winds. They are adventurous people who, like the seabirds, have the instinct to migrate in their blood. Their houses are a reflection of the pandanus and coconut trees from which they are constructed. The lifestyle is quite simple and in harmony with nature, living off the land and the sea.
OCEANIA The term Oceania is normally used to designate all the islands of the Central and the South Pacific including Australia (continent), New Zealand and sometimes the Malay Archipelago. On this Web site, the focus is primarily directed towards the Pacific Islands of
