June Nash

June C. Nash (born 1927) is a social and feminist anthropologist and Distinguished Professor Emerita at the City University of New York (CUNY). She has conducted extensive field work throughout the United States and Latin America, most notably in Bolivia, Mexico and Guatemala. She has also been a part of feminist and working class social movements such as that of the Zapatistas in Mexico.

Early life and education

Nash graduated with a Bachelor's degree in economics from Barnard College in New York City. After graduation, she worked for a year in Washington D.C. as a statistician before deciding to travel to Mexico. She first spent some time in Acapulco, but decided to travel to the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico where she worked alongside the American Friends Service Committee on various projects in Maya communities.

With a new interest in Maya peoples, Nash returned to the United States to pursue graduate studies, ultimately receiving both her M.A. and Ph.D. from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Chicago in 1960. Her dissertation "Social relations in Amatenango del Valle: an Activity Analysis" detailed the social conditions of this town in Chiapas, Mexico.

Aku Aku

Aku Aku, also known as Holiugd, is the guardian of the Wumpa Islands and the father figure of Crash Bandicoot and his friends. Aku Aku is the spirit of an ancient witch doctor encased in a floating, wooden mask. During Crash's missions to stop Doctor Cortex, he scattered copies of himself throughout the travels in an effort to aid him in his mission. Whenever Crash possesses an Aku Aku mask, he will be shielded from one enemy attack or contact. Collecting three Aku Aku masks gives Crash temporary invulnerability from all minor dangers, but does not protect from falling down holes. In his English speaking appearances, he is voiced by Mel Winkler up to Crash Twinsanity, and Greg Eagles in Crash of the Titans and Crash: Mind over Mutant. In the Japanese versions of his speaking appearances, he is voiced by Kenichi Ogata up to Crash Twinsanity.
