Consider how Spain attempted to suppress the Catalan language, for example. The most major change that Camac forced in the East was to elevate women to equal status. (More in the reply to Helen, below.)<br /><br />Helen, that's exactly it. Jira is more than a little shocked, because she's grown up in a society where gender equality is so ingrained that it's rarely mentioned or thought about. In Ep #3, you might recall, about a third of Camac's soldiers are/were women. Today's episode (#5) suggests why the prisoners might not be so eager to give trouble.<br /><br />Thanks, Eric!Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-1429434408773478942013-09-06T14:54:15.990-04:002013-09-06T14:54:15.990-04:00Neat story!

And this " we have regained more than our independence. We have regained our culture.” - another way of say, we've gone our own way. I wonder perhaps they should not underestimate these prisoners.Helen A.

This must seem like a fine thing to them. Nothing like having one's own culture to put a people at ease. Good episode! I enjoyed it muchly!
