[Aztlan] Yokes and the Mesoamerican ballgame

[D. M. Urquidi]

Justin:
   
  There is a map at the Bank commissioner's office and one at my dentists
   
  (1718)  Mexique  (from the bank re Viscaya)  
   
  Hormanno, Baptista   
(1725)    Novae Hispaniae  
Ludoviciann N. Anglicae   (is the date from the dentists office and Biscaya)
   
  One thing on these maps is the phrase "Nueva Biscaya" (or Viscaya)
   
  It seems that the Mixtecs learned about the hand basket from the Basques not the other way around..
   
  Don't know how long they were there, but it was strange to see it because
  the Basque were also victims of the Inquisition becasue they were sailing extensively in the cod shoals of the Atlantic .( I think Robbins tells about the massacre of the Basque witches, whole families, mostly women and children.)

   Gordon Ekholm believed
that the Basque game of Jai-Alai was derived from the Oaxaca game. The glove evolving into the basket that is used today. However, he found no history to support this theory.
