Ya, I'd probably admit your right on the manga style French, never gone in for that style, myself..

Here is my reasoning for the Ni Kunni to represent Native Americans, not a Middle Eastern Society, though the hints could suggest a disparate group of non related cultures with unique similarities.. I don't buy into it..

“Two large religions have left enough behind that they are well known and studied by historians. “
One basic religion worshiped differently between the Nomads and the City dwellers of their culture.
“The nomadic peoples of the deserts and steppes practiced a polytheistic religion that revered three primary gods and many smaller ones. The main trinity were gods of the sun, of the desert, and of the water. The sun god was portrayed as a cruel tyrant that scorched all those who did not offer obedience, opposed by the life giving water god who strove to protect his followers and deliver to them a bounty of life. The desert god was neutral in the conflict, serving as a balance between the two; often suffering under the sun god's rays, but also refusing to give up too much of his domain to the water.”

Nahuatl, the Sun God.. The Enhuadanni? Ehecatl, the Wind God... And Tlaloc, the Rain God.. 'magine that..

These Gods feature prominantly in both Aztec and Mayan religion and time keeping. Meso America.. That particular cultural background that Tony Gonzalez hails from.. There is then the tie between the Sefrim of the Amarr and the ancient gods who brought the Ni Kunni water.. The Jove were the T(l)alocan, the Jove were the Sefrim.. Even the interaction of the Amarr with the Ni Kunni harkens back to the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs..


The Ni-Kunni favor wind and percussion instruments, particularly flutes and tambourines

Now, while Native Americans share this generalization with the Middle and Far East, one thing caught my eye. The veils worn by the women “cover” the eyes, not exaggerate them, as in Islamic society. Covering the eyes in Islam, I am pretty sure, is forbidden..

Reread the Ni Kunni writeup again, compare the details for Native Meso American vs. Middle Eastern.. Hot Peppers? Cacti soaked in vinegar? Mexican fare...

It also goes a long way to support the idea that the Jove are interested in the welfare of humanity.. Something I had serious doubts on at one time..

It is a matter of debate in Islam, and usually confined to married women.

It's origins seem to be to Sarah, the wife of Abraham, making it old testament or Hebrew in origin.

Thanks Sam..

Wyke, the chapel veil and mantilla of Latino Roman Catholics conform to the description on the Ni Kunni page. Primarily used in Spain during the sixteenth century, I believe. Paul expounded upon the practice in Corinthians.. And yes, Sarah seems to be the progenitor of the fashion..

But, I would argue that it is a Christian practice.. Thus the Trinary godhead motif and the similarities between Ni Kunni and Amarrian religious thought.. Blended with a healthy dose of Amerind mythology..

Ya some official nudging would be great, too...

Very nice! I have been trying to find a correlation to Wind Dancing.. Short of a Marvel Mutant from Venezuela..

^^This is certainly the best, but, I can't seem to reconcile the other hints in the writeup, though my knowledge of Turkish culture is miniscule.. The Circle Dances such as the Sky Dance and the Sun Dance and the Rain Dance of Native Americans, most especially the tribes descended of Meso American cultures..

For instance Napolitos, great with scrambled eggs!

"Vegetable dishes typically involve tough cacti that have either been dried or soaked in vinegar or brine. Hot peppers are a favorite of Ni-Kunni chefs, so much that outsiders tend to believe that everything cooked by Ni-Kunni must contain the ingredients."

Sounds Mexican to me.. Though Hungary has some great hot peppers too, and Vietnamese cuisine has Kimshi..

My thoughts on Ni Kunni is it is a derivation of chicano.. From Wikipedia; "For Chicanos, the term usually implies being "neither from here, nor from there" in reference to the US and Mexico"

Ni in Spanish is a prejorative that means neither\nor... Kunni is "Old German"? for race and the old root for english words like kin and kind.. I know of no associations to kunni in spanish.. So, the Ni Kunni are Neither Race...

BTW: Spanish is the second most natively spoken language in the world, after Mandarin Chinese..

Honestly, with the mish mash of culture and heritage that the world is becoming today, any of the above "could" be true. Just because the Ni Kunni appear to have inherited mexican cultural traits, it could just as well be that neccesity drove them to acquire those culinary and dress habits..

Which kind of got me thinking about the crossing of threads which takes place on occasion. For instance, the thread concerning capsuleers and their posterity, and the leaning in this thread that I wanted to direct toward familial, archaic, cultural processes on the "heritage" of New Eden..

In some cases, such as the Caldari, they emerged from a bi-lineal tribal culture, from which we get the myth of Cold Wind, and the Deteis and Civire.. Which holds many parallels with ancient Japan.

If their were ancient capsuleers running around, as the Talocan suggest, and they were ferrying things like water and sundries to the Ni Kunni and others, did they instill many of the traditions we embrace today? How far WOULD we capsuleers go? How far did they go?
