Culture of Lithuania
Hi, I am glad you are interested. Basically, you have to separate two levels of culture - folk (traditional peasant culture) and professional (money-making pop imported from the west). Good source for folk culture is this website. This book is also ok (but not great). The website you found seems to be a dumbed-down & touristy version of folk culture, but its is a good and accessible introduction. I am afraid I am not aware of any good source for professional culture :( There are some useful links are here and here (not sure how much of them are in English). Hope that's enough to get you started. Renata (talk) 10:06, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

POV?
Hi Miranda. The article is about Burundi and not the history of Rwanda. The Tutsis who were killed in 1962 were Rwandese not Burundian. Actually many Hutus were killed in Burundi during that time, hence they escaped to Rwanda, but the article does not even mention that. Please do not confuse our histories, Burundi and Rwanda have very different histories. The article as it stands right now is not accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DrSibomana (talk • contribs) 20:28, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Miranda
I read the "reliable sources" and those sources are talking about the History in Rwanda and not Burundi. The 1962 Killings were in Rwanda. The cited sources even substantiate that fact. Do you guys read the sources that people post? Hutus in Burundi were never in power in 1962. That is the history of Rwanda and not Burundi. Why is Rwanda's history in Burundi's section. Can't Burundi have some respect and have its own history on Wikipedia? The Tutsis in Rwanda actually fled in 1959 to go to Burundi, that is even stated in the Rwanda section. Conversely, the Hutu in Burundi fled to Rwanda. I believe you might be confusing their history. The victims of genocide in Burundi were Hutu while those in Rwanda were Tutsi. Please make the necessary changes, what you state on Wikipedia affects the lives of millions. For the sake of Burundi's history, please do not include the rwanda's history as it will overshadow the events in Burundi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DrSibomana (talk • contribs) 03:25, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I do read the sources and have done some extensive research on the subject for some months. Burundi was once joined with Rwanda because it was a German/Belgian colony. People might want to ask why Burundi was separated from Rwanda? Were they involved with some sort of civil war? Assume that the audience isn't knowledgeable with African policy and foreign relations. And, regarding your edits, they are showing a bias towards one group, and you are deleting sources which I have meticulously looked up. Previous to you editing the article, and I even working on it, the article had major bias towards one group. I am making this article neutral as possible. So, before you edit the article and inject your own bias, read up on neutrality and reliable sources. Thank you.  miranda   04:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
