Historical note:
The Festival of American Folklife, held annually since 1967 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., was renamed the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in 1998.
The 1970 Festival of American Folklife was produced by the Smithsonian Division of Performing Arts.
For more information, see Smithsonian Folklife Festival records.
Introduction:
The 1970 Festival took place for five days (July 1-5) on the National Mall, between Madison Drive and Jefferson Drive and between 10th Street and 14th Street, south of the National Museum of History and Technology and the National Museum of Natural History (see site plan). It was the third Festival to feature one of the fifty States - in 1970, Arkansas was the focus - and the first to give a new prominence to Native American programming, with Indians of the Southern Plains featured. Craft presentations focused on those associated with milk and dairy products, while musical performances again offered a potpourri of diverse music and dance traditions. Each evening, a pow wow filled the center of the National Mall, complemented by evening concerts at the Sylvan Theater on the Washington Monument grounds.
The 1970 Festival was organized by the Division of Performing Arts, where James R. Morris was Director and Richard Lusher was Deputy Director. Ralph Rinzler continued as Festival Director.
The 1970 Program Book included information on all of the programs.

Taped by James C. Jones—San Ignacio de Moxos, 1977-1978
Notes provided by James C. Jones.
Side A
2. "Himno National," as played on the violin by Abelino Masapaija, Ignaciano Indian and founder of Pueblo Nuevo. Don Abelino is maestro de capilla (second only to Isidoro Teco; both learned music in the Escuela Indigenal of Padre Marchena), and as such, is well versed in related functions—such as prayer (rezador)—of the local Catholic liturgy (of Jesuit origin). November 20, 1977.
3. "Himno al Beni," as played by Abelino Masapaija on the violin. November 20, 1977.
4. Musicos of church in San Ignacio as they perform at a Christmas novenary Mass. Nine are performing tonight. The instruments: panpipes, pajarillo, drums, violins, and flute. The pajarillo is a Christmas-season instrument and is taken out only at that time. December 19, 1977.
5. Abelino Masapaija, maestro de capilla, relates how difficult it is for the Musicos to make the transition from Latin to Spanish, which Father Alfonso Elorriaga is pushing. Their canticles have by tradition been sung in Latin, and some of the Indians have even been trained to take part in responsive liturgy in Latin. November 20, 1977.
6. Macheteros perform on Christmas Day in the Belen. The composition is entitled "Taquirari Ignaciano" (the only name I'm given) and the flautist is Cirilo Yaca. December 25, 1977.
7. The bells toll, the drums roll. Such is the call to Mass in San Ignacio. Dia de la Degollacion de los Inocentes. December 28, 1977.
8. Musicians play a taquirari as Herod's soldiers dance in the Belen prior to beheading the male children. The musical instruments: 2 bajones (panpipes), 2 flutes, 2 violins, and 2 drums. December 28, 1977.
9. The Jerure perform in front of a Nino in the home of Marcelino Coseruna. The Jerure is an instrumental group of taitas. The day is January 1, 1978, or Dia de San Manuel. Members of the Jerure shout "San Manuel" at the close of the number
10. Abelino Masapaija, Chaco War veteran and founder of Pueblo Nuevo in the early 1950s, tells how he responded to efforts of the Carai (whites are called Caraiyana) Juan Ahez to block the creation of Pueblo Nuevo. Ahez was sending a Trinitario mozo to the new village site to pull up horcones which had been set for the capilla. When Abelino, leader of the founding party (which settled at Pueblo Nuevo after searching for the Loma Santa for six months), stopped the Trinitario mozo and defied Ahez, the latter had him called to San Ignacio by the authorities. This happened several times, until Abelino threatened to use force. Ahez said that the wood for the horcones belonged to him, but in reality, according to Abelino, Ahez wanted the Indians for his mozos; he did not want them to be free. November 5, 1977.
11. Sounds of the tropical night: sapos (ranas mainly) sing after a night and day of heavy rain. January 16, 1978 (behind the house of Ignacito Rivero).
12. Cantos en Idioma (Ignaciano), on a Friday afternoon of the Lenten season. Four or five male Cantores lead the cantos, with the Abadesas singing only what seems to be a chorus. Only the Cantores and Abadesas are present; all are seated toward the front of the church near the altar. February 24, 1978.
Side B
2. A speech made in the Belen by Horacio Semani, Corregidor Indigenal, Abelino Masapaija, Maestro de Capilia; and Salvador Chapi. The occasion is Chapi's retirement after 30 years as a teacher All these men are Indian, though Chapi has not taken part in the Indian culture since he returned from the Chaco War; it is significant that Chapi speaks in Spanish rather than in Ignaciano. March 5, 1978. In the Belen. [Chapi, though born among the Indians and educated in Father Marchena's Escuela Indigenal, takes a superior attitude toward them, an attitude which they much resent. They refer to him pejoratively as Carai, or "white." He seems to be more proud of having escaped his Indian past than of the past itself. There is much tension between him and the other Indians, and I was surprised that this event occurred; I do not know who arranged it—but probably Chapi did ]
3. A song "ofalegrla" in Ignaciano, sung by Manuel Inchu. He tells me the song can be sung on any festive occasion, though I recorded this at a velorio. March 20, 1978.
4. This song is sung mainly by the parents of a bride and groom during a marriage feast, after everybody has had lots of chicha Horacio Semani sings. March 20, 1978.
5. This song, music and lyrics, was composed by Manuel Inchu to commemorate the departure of Ignacianos from San Ignacio in 1959, led by a Guarayu, in search of the Loma Santa. He says the song expresses the tragedy of the event, the great suffering experienced by the "parientes" on this occasion He calls the song La Loma Santa. March 20, 1978.
6. Several songs are here sung by Benedicta Guayacuma de Caiti (wife of Jose Caiti).
7. Chaco War veteran Horacio Semani (ne 1910) talks generally about the Chaco War and contrasts the perseverance and strength of the youth of his time with those of today. He talks about how malnourished the youth of today are, of how they no longer consume dairy products. March 8, 1978.
8. Chaco War veteran Horacio Semani compares Kollas with Cambas (the Kolla Indian with the Camba Indian), noting how dense (or torpid) the Kollas are as compared to the Cambas, even though both are Indios. March 10, 1978.
9. Horacio Semani contrasts the current economic conditions of Ignacianos with those he knew as a child March 14, 1978.
10. Juan Bautista Savala contrasts life before the arrival of the Caraiyana with the misery of today. March 25, 1978.
11. Juan Bautista Savala talks of consequences of Reforma Agraria (though he does not call it that) for Ignacianos. March 25, 1978.
12. Horacio Semani, Corregidor Indigenal, tells of how youth of today no longer want to dance in the fiestas; of how they no longer speak Ignaciano; of how costumbres are being lost; and of how population increase and the commercialization of skins and pelts have affected Ignacianos—everybody now is a cazador. Tremendous changes since his youth. March 15, 1978.
13. Selections from velorio of Virgen de Carmen (July 16, velorio held on night of July 15th) held in home of Felipe Apace. First on the tape are the Ovejitos (a song-and-dance group), then the "salves" are sung by don Felipe and a rezador (a compadre of Felipe Apace). The rezador has a sheet on which are written the words of the salves. Toward the last, the Toritos (another song-and-dance group) arrive and are heard; Daniel Yuco (my good friend) plays the flute. July 15, 1978.
14. Jerure play in the Belen on evening of July 29 (antevispera of the Fiesta de San Ignacio) just before doing a turn of the plaza to announce the fiesta season. July 29, 1978.
15. A sample of dance number played by flautist and drummers from Macheteros in home of First Cacique of Macheteros during a private fiesta The Macheteros are performing before the home altar August 3, 1978.
