Anthropology

Years ago we attended a performance of The American Indian Dance Theatre at The Joyce Theatre in NYC. It was both marvelously exciting and interesting. Interesting because we couldn’t help noting, what looked to our eyes, a Japanese influence on their traditional costumes. But how could that be, we asked. Was it at all possible that the two peoples had crossed an ocean to influence each other’s culture? We didn’t know and still don’t. Never heard anything like this crazy theory/question. But given this article…I wonder.
