Film Description
THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE (25 min) contrasts two systems of education. The public school system uses patriotic symbols to “integrate” Indian pupils into the national culture while teaching them to reject their own identity. In contrast, the “Danza de los Huehuesâ€? urges young Totonacs to learn from the school, yet warns them not to abandon their own culture.
