Oh they were decimated alright, they were just not annihilated or liquidated.
Decimated means ever tenth one....and that surely happened through disease and hunger and suicides..
I had to laugh (ridicule, actually) the response from the director of the Museum of Dominican Man....so territorial, so dogmatic, so stupid!! I asked my class what was the first requirement in order to head the museum: they all said degrees in anthropology, and stuff like that. I answered: NO, you have to be a member of the PLD!!! You read what he said and you have to laugh out loud....
Ans I had to laugh at Lynn Guitar's close lipped response to my student's questions, a few weeks ago when they asked about this very thing.and she said "the study is not finished"...heck no, neither is the one in the paper yesterday, but they got the publicity and not Lynn's group...
seems to me that this will eventually get settled...
