I'm currently writing a paper about De Landa and would love to find a source for this information so I can include it in the paper. Do you know of a book or article that mentions the details of the discovery? Hello Working Gringos,
I live not far from La Ermita Church and was very interested in what you said about De Landa’s written account being found there. I’m currently writing a paper about De Landa and would love to find a source for this information so I can include it in the paper. Do you know of a book or article that mentions the details of the discovery?

Look at Mani Go! Mani is a small municipality to the south of Merida. Almost all of the fewer than 4,000 residents are Mayan and Mayan is the language that is spoken there. The residents of Mani applied to an international program that helps poor communities design a successful future for themselves – and Mexico determined that, of all the places in the nation, our Mani would be the beneficiary of this pilot program. The people of Mani wanted to become successful without having to depend on tourism to do it. Members of the IDP (International Design Partnership) came to visit and saw the beautiful embroidery produced in Mani. They suggested putting that same design in a variety of linens and paper products, such as stationary and cards. Right now, eight top-class designers from South-Africa, Great Britain, Peru, Chile, Mexico, the USA, Germany and Australia are meeting in Mexico City to develop a merchandising concept for traditional products from the Maya cultural stronghold of Mani in order to improve the local living conditions. You can read the full story of this project and Yucatan Living’s story of the history of Mani. [...] [...] Moving On Up! Look at Mani Go! Mani is a small municipality to the south of Merida.

The real point is that we should learn from the past and do our best not to repeat it. Most cultures have used their culture and religion and caused a great deal of hurt to others. Only about 80 to 100 years ago, the Christain missionaries to Alaska did about the same thing as Landa to the native peoples of Alaska. One of those missionaries was my grandfather. He had a great love and respect for the native Alaskans but could not stop the powers that be from being stupid in their actions to the Alaskans. I only hope we have learned what not to do.
