      learn more about the following Central American
      ruins: Tikal, Copan, Palenque Palace, Temple of
      the Sun, and Temple of the Warrior (Chichen

      Future Ruins
      Play a video clip of a recently discovered
      ancient Zoque site, built about 1000 years ago,

      again if restored to its former glory.

INTEGRATE FOLKLORE, MUSIC, & TRADITIONAL CULTURE
Folk music - sung during the days before there was a music
industry when the role of music was about your life -
about the life and times that most of us don't experience
anymore and when the music was sung because it helped
people through it and sustained them.
