Hi, Lars,

-Thanks for your answer.
Indeed, I was thinking of this monkey. I should like to know better
about this animal "Monkey" through the old/ancient Buddhism.
From my search, I learnt there's an ethnie next to the Hopi one, it's
called "Kapayo". I find that strange enough because they are called in
the Spanish lenguage "Los kapayo" . Generally, there's always this "S"
in the Spanish lenguage for the pl., and there is not here.This ethnie
"los kapayo" live in the Bresilian Amazonie. May we think that there was
some Tibetan influence in a very far past?
-Thanks for reading me, hoping to have any answer which could help my
search.

All the best

Françoise
