Explain in three paragraphs with concrete examples from the material reviewed during class and specifically in this module:

How is the Anthropological analysis of present-day rituals useful to understand cultures whose History and experience is seldom taught or reflected in the History Books? Why is this yet more important to consider in the American continent? Why are dances and religious traditions so informative of the first nations of this continent?

Anthropological survey of such rituals gives a peek into societies with no surviving written history.

Explanation:

Modern native cultures are the ones that have survived a rigorous process of termination and getting westernized.

To safeguard them, the anthropologists need to document their rituals and decode their dances for possible symbols and way of life as it developed in the place when there was no issue of the extinction

It is only through the dances and rituals of these people can we get a peek into what their core values are and how their history has been in the absence of any written records.
