References

I can't find any references to support this. Probably this is because I am only looking at sources in English. Please can we try to get some references on this? I mean, I don't think for one moment that it is made up, but it is a bit poor that there is nothing to prove that. --DanielRigal (talk) 01:44, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am unable to find a corresponding article in the Portuguese language Wikipedia, which is unexpected. --DanielRigal (talk) 01:52, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I had the same impulse and the same reaction. I did a little searching and found some sources in Portuguese. I will list them here and come back later to incorporate them into the article if no one else beats me to the punch. I speak Portuguese, but I don’t know enough about dance or the culture of this area of Brazil to do much more than just restate what the sources say in my own words. It’s always nice to let the original author have a crack at it first, I think.

Some worthwhile (though brief) sources:

http://cultura.to.gov.br/conteudo.php?id=75 (from the Tocantins state government, ministry of culture)
http://jalapao.to.gov.br/dancas--sussia-e-jiquitaia/116 (also on the state website, in the portion about Jalapão state park)
http://ww1.uft.edu.br/index.php/component/content/article?id=11186:valorizacao-do-saber-cultural-e-tema-de-discussao-no-seminario-de-natividade (university website with some context about this dance going on in the area)
http://seer.pucgoias.edu.br/index.php/mosaico/article/viewFile/2746/1672 (an academic text on a university website with 75 pages about the communities where this is important and one brief mention at the very end about how the dance is important.)

It would be great if someone would not only add in these (or other) sources, but also start a Portuguese version of the article, where there may be more interest and participation, etc. Searching the web for "dança Tocantins Sússia" yielded a lot of (Portuguese) results. — giso6150 (talk) 02:47, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
