It’s actually called “ANCIENT Instruments”, incorrectly titled “Prehistoric Instruments” here on Synthtopia. That is a gross disrespect for indigineous people who use these instruments from their inception up to and including today. These are not “prehistoric people” aka neanderthals. Please retitle.
It’s actually indigenous, not indigineous. Or, preferably, autochthonous. Some also use terms such as aboriginal, first nations, and native.
I am not sure why one would believe that only “indigineous” peoples use ancient instruments. Ancient instruments are still used by all, or nearly all contemporary cultures.
I agree about the point regarding prehistoric. This is often used to trash indigenous systems of record keeping, often in conjunction with claims that indigenous peoples are illiterate and have no recorded history. This has not been the case with any peoples groups I’ve worked with.
all peoples are prehistoric, all their origins lie before the time of written history.
no need to be overly sensitive here.
yes, you are right. we all have common prehistoric ancestors.
however, many people who today use “prehistoric” instruments tend to have melanin in their skin and live in countries that are in debt to international banks.
according to which “history” are these people “prehistoric”?
