ÁI've put in an external link on the guaje tree, though obviously this should move to an article on the tree once someone writes one. seglea 22:19, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)
What about adding a little bit about Malcolm Lowry and his novel Under the Volcano? Cataclysm12 00:02, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Great novel, but it's set in Morelos, not Oaxaca. (Isn't it?) There's plenty to be added to the Under the Volcano article, though. –Hajor 00:15, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] religion in oaxaca?
seriously, someone needs to put in something other than mormonism in that section. as far as i'm concerned, if a mormon temple is the only thing in the section, the section should be deleted until there's more information. i don't know enough to contribute myself, but i do know enough to know that the lds church is NOT the only game in town. i'd be REALLY surprised if it was the biggest. that section is a total travesty. if anyone can add to it, that would be greatly appreciated. I'll do research myself if i can. if not, can it just be deleted? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Neutralrobotboy 08:35, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
I agree. I'm sure there's lots of Cathlolics there too, after all it is Mexico.... SeizureToday
im sure that the lds church is the fastest growing church in oaxaca and thats why there is so much talk of us —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.130.19.239 (talk) 22:26, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Let's remember the obvious, our multicultural society is becoming more diverse--even in religion! Although much of the population identifies with being catholic or christian, people are learning to think for themselves and make decisions that diverge from Church teachings. Shamanism & Spiritualism in this region honors our ancestors, while calling upon us to use their wisdom, love, and inspiration to be better people, regardless of the building we worship in.Hopefulhope (talk) 05:37, 12 April 2008 (UTC)Hopefulhope (talk) 05:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)hopefulhope
[edit] Mitla as a Zapotec name
I don't think the name Mitla is Zapotec. es:Mitla says it is called Lyobaa or "place of rest" in Zapotec. Now, the name is Nahuatl is Mictlan "place of the dead"; I seem to recall reading that the name Mitla comes from Mictlan. 75.135.82.119 05:25, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
