Modern Maya religion is a hybrid of Catholicism and ancient Maya beliefs and rituals. Their ancient gods have been replaced with Spanish saints but the stories of these saints only slightly resemble those of their European counterparts. Dr. Cook will discuss how the Maya religious tradition is responding to the 21st Century.=0D=0A=

The performance of the Monkey Dance combines a belief that supernatural powers are transmitted from the spirits of the monkey, jaguar, and cougar depicted in the dance. The dancers are thought to be possessed by those animals they are representing. This acrobatic performance is part of an eighteen-year commitment to a vow made to ancestors and patron saints.  Dr. Cook will discuss the practice and show video clips from a performance of this dance. =0D=0A=
