Last night my husband and I were on youtube and we did a search for Nochistlan. I discovered there were lots of videos about Nochis. One video was called "Recorriedo Nochistlan" and someone actually drove around Nochis with a video camera in their hand driving up and down streets that were very familiar to me. In another video there were people running around with white powder on their faces (harina and pinole) which of course some of you may know is a very old tradicion called el "Papaqui del Guerito San Sebastian." There are videos which depict other traditions like the "La Coleadera" in Las Animas which is an event I have attended many times, and the Sunday night serenatas in the jardin in Nochistlan.
I did not search for videos of any other pueblos but I would imagine that they exist. I just thought it might be worth mentioning to all of you because I am sure there are many of you researching places you have never been to. I think it is another way to learn about the cultures and traditions that exist in the pueblos we are researching.
