Ma nā palena hema o ko mākou panalāʻau, aia kahi kahawai a me kahi kaona uluhele i kapa ʻia ʻo Tenosique, kahi i hala ai mākou i ʻekolu mau lā e mākaʻikaʻi ai i kāna cenotes, e kipa aku i kāna mau wahi archaeological a hauʻoli i ka maka a me nā pepeiao me kāna Dance Pocho kahiko a kala hoʻi.
I ko mākou noho ʻana i kēia kaona nani ʻo Tabasco, ua hoʻohana mākou i ka manawa kūpono e kipa aku ai i nā wahi hoihoi o ia wahi. Hele mākou i nā kuahiwi, kahi o ke kaona ʻo Santo Tomás. He mau mea hoihoi nui i ka ʻāina, e like me ka loko wai o San Marcos, nā ana ʻo Na Choj, ka Cerro de la Ventana, ka ʻāpana archaeological o Santo Tomás, a me nā cenotes ʻo Aktun Há a me Ya Ax Há.
Wai Inked
I mea e mākaʻikaʻi ai i ka Ya Ax Há cenote, ua hui mākou i kahi hui o ka poʻe hoihoi e hoe waʻa a luʻu. ʻOiai ʻo wau wale nō ka mea luʻu, iho wale au i 25 mau mika. I kēlā hohonu ua huli ka wai i ka burgundy a ʻaʻole hiki ke nānā i kekahi mea. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke ʻike i kuʻu lima i mua o koʻu mau maka! ʻO kēia kala ma muli o ka tannic acid i hopena i ka pala o nā lau a me nā mea kanu e hāʻule i loko o ka wai. A laila piʻi iki wau, a ʻōmaʻomaʻo ka wai a ʻike wau i kekahi mea. I mea e mākaʻikaʻi ai i kēia cenote, e hoʻolālā ʻia kahi huakaʻi ʻē aʻe i ka wā maloʻo me nā lako hou a me nā mea like ʻole. Kūpono kēia ʻāina no ka holo wāwae, kaʻa kaʻa mauna a hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻonohonoho i kahi holo lio i kahi o ka archaeological o Piedras Negras, ma Guatemala.
ʻO Panjalé lāua ʻo Pomoná
I ka lā aʻe ua hele mākou e kipa i nā wahi archaeological a puni Tenosique, ma waena e kū nei ʻo Panjalé, ma ke kapa o ka Usumacinta, ma ka piko o kahi puʻu, 5 mau kilomita ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana i Tenosique. Hana ʻia ia i nā hale he nui i hana ʻia i kahi manawa i kahi kuanaʻike, kahi a nā Mayana e kiaʻi ai ma luna o nā waʻa i hala i ka muliwai.
Ma kahi kokoke, ua hana nui ʻo Pomoná (600 a 900 AD) i ka pilina politika a me ka hoʻokele waiwai o kona wahi, ʻoiai aia kēia kūlanakauhale ma waena o ka puka e hiki ai i luna o Usumacinta a me Guatemalan Petén, kahi i hele aku ai nā mea hana a me nā mea kālepa i ka kula papu. Hoʻolaha ka hoʻolālā o kēia pūnaewele i nā hiʻohiʻona me ko Palenque a hana ʻia i ʻeono mau hui nui, a me nā wahi noho, e puʻunaue ʻia ma kahi o 175 hectares. Hoʻokahi wale nō o kēia mau pūʻulu i ʻimi a hoʻohui ʻia, i hana ʻia me nā hale he 13 i kūkulu ʻia ma ʻekolu o nā ʻaoʻao o kahi square me kahi hoʻolālā quadrangular. Aia kona mea nui i ka waiwai o nā kahakaha hieroglyphic i loaʻa, ʻaʻole ia e hāʻawi wale iā mākou me ka wā o kona ulu ʻana, akā me ka ʻike e pili ana i kona mau aliʻi a me kā lākou mau pilina me nā kūlanakauhale ʻē aʻe o ia manawa. He hale hōʻikeʻike kona ma ka pūnaewele.
Ka Hula a ka Pochio
I ka lā aʻe, i ke kakahiaka, ua hui mākou me ka hui o nā mea hulahula a me nā mea hoʻokani pila mai Tenosique, nā mea e mālama ana i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ka Danza del Pocho i ka wā o ka hoʻolauleʻa karnival. Kēia manawa, ma kahi ʻano kūikawā, ua ʻaʻahu a kau ʻia ia mea i hiki iā mākou ke aʻo e pili ana i kēia kuʻuna. E pili ana i ka pāʻina karnival, haʻi ʻia mai iā mākou ke aʻa i ka hopena o ke kenekulia 19. I ka manawa o nā monterias a me chiclerías, i mālama ʻia e nā Sepania mai kekahi mau hui e like me Guatemalan a me Agua Azul. ʻO kēia mau kēpau hoʻolimalima hana i hele hohonu i loko o ka ululāʻau Tabasco a me ka ʻāina ʻo Guatemalan Petén e hoʻohana ai i nā ulu lāʻau makamae, e like me ka mahogany, ka lāʻau kedera a me ka resin mai ka lāʻau kāpili, ko lākou hoʻi like ʻana i nā lā o ka hoʻolauleʻa karnival. No laila, ua hāʻawi ʻia ka poʻe kamaʻāina o kēia kaona i ka hana o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ʻelua ʻaoʻao, ʻo Palo Blanco lāua ʻo Las Flores, e hakakā no ke koʻokoʻo aliʻi aliʻi a me ka lei aliʻi. Me lākou i hoʻomaka ai ka hoʻolauleʻa nui. Mai ia manawa, ua komo ka hapa nui o ka lehulehu i kēia hoʻolauleʻa, ma o ka hula ma mua o ka Hispanic hula o Pochio.
ʻO ka lole o ka ʻoʻopa, ʻo ia ka pale maka lāʻau, kahi pāpale i kāhiko ʻia me ka pāma a me nā pua, ka ʻahu, ka lepa o nā lau chestnut, kekahi popana soybean poplin a me nā chiquís (rattle i hana ʻia me ka lālā mānoanoa o hollow guarumo me nā ʻanoʻano). Hoʻokomo nā pochoveras i ka lepa pua, kahi pālule keʻokeʻo a me ka pāpale e like me nā mea ʻoʻopa. Uhi ʻia ko Tigers i ko lākou mau kino i ka lepo melemele a me nā ʻeleʻele, a kau lākou i ka ʻili ocelot a i ʻole jaguar ma ko lākou kua. ʻO nā mea kani e pili pū ana i ka hulahula ʻo ka ʻohe, ka pahu, ka ʻoki a me ka chiquis. Hoʻopau ka carnival me ka make ʻana o ke kāpena o Pocho i kēia manawa a me ke koho ʻana o ka mea hou, ʻo ia ka mea nāna i mālama i ka nuʻukia o ka mālama ʻana i ke ahi kapu a pono e hoʻonohonoho i nā ʻoliʻoli, e hōʻoia ana e hoʻokō ʻia nā hana maʻamau āpau.
Ma ke ala, hana ʻia ke koho i ke ala hoihoi, e ʻākoakoa nui ka poʻe i mua o ka hale o ka poʻe i wae ʻia a hoʻolei i nā pōhaku, nā ʻōmole, nā ʻalani a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i ke kaupaku. Hele mai ka mea nona ka puka a hoʻolaha e ʻae ʻo ia i ka uku. I ka hopena, i ka hāʻule ʻana o ka pō, noho lākou i ka hale o ke kāpena i waho e hele i kāna "make", ke hōʻike nei ke ʻano me he mea lā e hele ana ka lehulehu i kahi ala. ʻAi lākou i nā tamale, nā mea momona, kope a me ka momi. Pono e hoʻokani ka pahu i ka pō holoʻokoʻa, me ka hoʻomaha ʻole no kekahi manawa. Ke ʻike ʻia nā kukuna mua (ma ka Pōʻakolu ʻAkau), lohi loa ka pā, e hōʻike ana ua hoʻomaka ka ʻeha, kahi e mau ana no kekahi mau manawa. Ke hāmau ka pahu, ua make ʻo Pocho. Hōʻike ka poʻe i hele i ke kaumaha nui, ʻapo aku lākou kekahi i kekahi me ka ikaika, uē kekahi i ka ʻeha, ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe no ka pau ʻana o ka pāʻina a me kekahi mau mea hou aʻe no ka hopena o ka waiʻona.
