- This is a fieldwork assignment on cosmological beliefs,
and beliefs about cryptozoological entities. Such beliefs
have a long history in most cultures and are well
represented as in the USA, in our area, and in Mexico.
The goal of this assignment is to research these beliefs
in our area. This should help in arriving to a better
cultural understanding of the Lower Rio Grande Valley of
Texas. You can be your own informant. If you need extra
pages for the answers add as many as you need to this
questionnaire.
