Excerpt from The Jicaque (Torrupan) Indians of Honduras As a result of this confusion specific literature con cerning the original inhabitants of the north coast of Honduras from Guatemala to the Rio Plantain is practically non-existant. This lack creates an im mense hiatus in the ethnology of Central American tribes, and makes it extremely difficult to establish many details concerning the ancient culture of the Jicaque proper, who call themselves Torrupan. The expedition to Honduras in 1937 - 1938 under the auspices of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, contemplated an ethnological and zoological survey of that country, among the Sumu, Paya, Miskito, and Torrupan groups. The present monograph is a report of four months' investigation among the Hispanicized Jicaques of Yoro, and two among the primitive Jicaques in the Montana de la Flor. In addition to the ethnological collections made and to the series of live - masks procured, all of which are deposited in the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, an exhaustive ethmo botanical collection made by Christine Inez von Hagen forms a comprehensive basis for the study of the material culture of the Jicaque (torrupan).

In Houses in a Landscape, Julia A. Hendon examines the connections between social identity and social memory using archaeological research on indigenous societies that existed more than one thousand years ago in what is now Honduras. While these societies left behind monumental buildings, the remains of their dead, remnants of their daily life, intricate works of art, and fine examples of craftsmanship such as pottery and stone tools, they left only a small body of written records. Despite this paucity of written information, Hendon contends that an archaeological study of memory in such societies is possible and worthwhile. It is possible because memory is not just a faculty of the individual mind operating in isolation, but a social process embedded in the materiality of human existence. Intimately bound up in the relations people develop with one another and with the world around them through what they do, where and how they do it, and with whom or what, memory leaves material traces. Hendon conducted research on three contemporaneous Native American civilizations that flourished from the seventh century through the eleventh CE: the Maya kingdom of Copan, the hilltop center of Cerro Palenque, and the dispersed settlement of the Cuyumapa valley. She analyzes domestic life in these societies, from cooking to crafting, as well as public and private ritual events including the ballgame. Combining her findings with a rich body of theory from anthropology, history, and geography, she explores how objects—the things people build, make, use, exchange, and discard—help people remember. In so doing, she demonstrates how everyday life becomes part of the social processes of remembering and forgetting, and how “memory communities” assert connections between the past and the present.

Excerpt from The Maya Indians of Southern Yucatan and Northern British Honduras The manners, customs, religious conceptions, and daily life Of all these Indians are very similar, though among the Indians Of British Honduras, who come more closely in contact with outside influences, old customs are dying out, and Old ideas and methods are being super seded by new. The language Of the tribes here considered, with slight local dialectical variations, is the same; all are of the same physical type; in fact, there can be little doubt that they are the direct descendants of those Maya who occupied the peninsula of Yucatan at the time of the conquest. Physically, though short they are robust and well proportioned. The men average 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 3 inches in height, the women about 2 inches less. The skin varies in color from almost White to dark bronze. The hair Of both sexes is long, straight, coarse, black, and luxuriant on the head, where it extends very low over the forehead, but is almost entirely absent from other parts of the body. The women usually wear their hair hanging down the back in two plaits. Their faces are round and full, with rather high cheek bones; the skull is highly brachi cephalic in type. The following indices were taken from a small number of Santa Cruz Indians, mostly males of middle age. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
