Massive #geoengineering in the ancient #Amazonian habitat

'...ancestral Amazonians systematically built up large urban centres and engineered the habitat to their needs and appetites with composted gardens, fisheries, and forests groomed into orchards in complex, sustainably run systems – which could offer lessons for modern cities.'

Another Slovak genius Dasa #Bombjakova has beautiful material in her stunning ph.D on #BaMbendjele women's use of #cosmetics to create coalitions. Besides #African hunter-gatherers, there would be soooooo much to say on #Amazonian cultures. And it goes around the world.

Our colleague Ian #Watts (world expert on #ochre) is just about to publish wonderful ethnography on plant-based #pigment use and social contexts. Will be linking that up ASAP!

#Paddler Nanda Baniwa, the only #Indigenous member of the #Brazilian delegation competing in the #Hawaiian #CanoeWorldChampionships (VA’A) in #Hawaii, shared on her social networks an experience of #discrimination she faced when she arrived in the #UnitedStates. During #immigration, her #headdress was #seized.

For the #Amazonian woman who lives in #Pará, the #cocar (headdress) is not just an ornament, but a symbol of her identity, struggle and culture, which were hurt at the time. She pointed out that, as well as #racism being hard enough to deal with, suffering discrimination without being able to react and just letting it happen is a distressing experience.

“My headdress is my great ally in my struggles, it’s part of me. And since the origin of everything, it belongs to us, and that’s how it is for all native peoples”, she shared.

“Our stereotypes of #Indigenous #Amazonian peoples is still very much that they’re living in the forest without #technology…that’s not entirely accurate.”
“The #Marubo people loved #Orkut when they initially got online,” Ruedas said, referring to #socialnetwork launched in Brazil in the early 2000s and shut down by Google in 2014. “Then when Orkut died they all migrated to Facebook, and I’ve been connected with Marubo people on Facebook for many years.”

Anyone for #tennis?
Dear Friends as we may know.
#Wombledon... eh #Wimbledon, will soon be upon us. Like #Peace. This morning our local tennis #courts in #Furzedown area, were being set up. On Tooting common all the courts were in full swing. Private tennis clubs? Probably #Streatham is the nearest one I am aware of. Anyway after a German breakfast (four pork sausages and sauerkraut) went for a 'morning constitutional' aka promenade...

A
#dinner #plate sized red-eared #terrapin was on the #path, making a break to a #nearby wet area. The conservation people try and restrict this refugee from #amazonian climes. Personally I believe we can be improved, by bringing in the #legendary #sewer #alligators of #NYC to eat some of our #water #quality executives. Which I feel is an apex predator courtesy. 😆

I only brought my black hat and key, so no terrapin photos.

This
#afternoon the weather forecast is #Thunder #Thor and #Lightening and very sunny. Should be fun for #rainbow #seekers.

Enjoying the
#snails, which I have been watching in the garden, rather than relocating. The invasive Spanish slugs will be out in force soon.

#Nature, can not fight it. Must #accept and work with. Anyways... time for me to try and get 'Mumble' working... or something similar for #coms on #Linux.

Have a great day everyone
❤️
