Indigenous Peoples of Mexico
The sun, the supreme god, is the royal eagle that sits upon the tenochtli "There is a place that the Spirit of Truth has prepared so that it shall be from there from which will be born the Liberation of the Indigenous Peoples. It is called AZTLAN, which means Paradise; it is where the Spirit of Truth lives." Yaqui Elder Rafael Guerrero, Coronel, Division del Norte de Pancho Villa Aztlan is the mythical place of origin of the Aztec peoples. In their language (Nahuatl), the roots of Aztlan are the two words: aztatl - tlan(tli) meaning "heron" and "place of," respectively. 'Tlantli' proper means tooth, and as a characteristic of a good tooth is that it is firmly rooted in place, and does not move, the prefix of this word is commonly used in Nahuatl to denote settlements, or place names, e.g. Mazatlan (place of deer), Papalotlan (place of butterflies) or Tepoztlan (place of metal). The Nahuatl language is often said to include three levels of meaning for its words or expressions: literal, syncretic and connotative. The connotative meaning of Aztlan, due to the plumage of herons, is "Place of Whiteness." The mythical descriptions of Aztlan would have it to be an island. You would replace -tlan with -tecatl to identify a resident or person from the given place. So, for the examples above, we have that people from Mazatlan would be Mazatecatl, someone from Tepoztlan a Tepoztecatl, and someone from Aztlan an Aztecatl.

The Aztecs/Mexicas
(Press the button if you want to stop the music)
According to their own legends, they originated from a place called Aztlan, somewhere in north or northwest Mexico. At that time the Aztecs (who referred to themselves as the Mexica or Tenochca) were a small, nomadic, Nahuatl-speaking aggregation of tribal peoples living on the margins of civilized Mesoamerica. Fearless warriors and pragmatic builders, the Aztecs created an empire during the 15th century that was surpassed in size in the Americas only by that of the Incas in Peru. As early texts and modern archaeology continue to reveal, beyond their conquests and many of their religious practices, there were many positive achievements:
  • the formation of a highly specialized and stratified society and an imperial administration
  • the expansion of a trading network as well as a tribute system
  • the development and maintenance of a sophisticated agricultural economy, carefully adjusted to the land
    and
  • the cultivation of an intellectual and religious outlook that held society to be an integral part of the cosmos.

    INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND CONSERVATION

    The National Inter-Censual Survey estimates that there are almost 6.8 million indigenous people in Mexico, while the National Indigenous Institution (in an extrapolation from the National Survey) pushes that number up to 10 million -www.sedesol.gob.mx/perfiles/nacional/00_summary.html Whatever figure is used, one definite trend has been an increase in the percentage and absolute number of Mexican citizens who identify themselves as "indigenous." Demographers note that the population of indigenous peoples is no longer declining, but growing at 2.7% annually. Last fall, this column initiated a review of websites focusing on ethnic identity and migration. This month we continue this investigation with a summary of the best online resources highlighting Mexico's indigenous population.

    Mexico's Indigenous Peoples United by Shared History
    MEXICO CITY In Mexico's urban slums and poor villages, in its southern jungles and harsh central mountains, a vast indigenous Indian population clings to cultures and languages from another millennium. Mexico's 12 million indigenous people speak more than 60 languages and live scattered throughout the country's 31 states and Mexico City. What unites them, besides a shared history, is a position at the bottom of society that they have occupied since the Spanish Conquest. "Ours is a poverty that's been built over 500 years,'' said Antonio Hernandez, a Tojolabal Maya activist and member of the federal Congress. When the Spanish arrived in the early 16th century, Mexico was ruled by the Aztecs, who built their temples on the lake-filled plateau that is now Mexico City. The Aztecs dominated dozens of indigenous communities. Believing gods were pacified by human blood, they killed thousands in human sacrifice. The Spaniards subdued the Aztecs and other indigenous communities in a bloody conquest that left millions dead some in battle but most from disease spread by the newcomers from the Old World.

    MUSIC-SPAIN: Double Concert to Aid Mexico's Indigenous Peoples
    By Tito Drago MADRID, Dec 14 (IPS) - Some of Spain's most popular music groups, together with their counterparts in Mexico, will perform a simultaneous fund-raising ''Concert for Indigenous Peoples'' this Saturday. The two shows will be broadcast live by Television Española (TVE), and available over the Internet. The event is sponsored by the Madrid-based Foundation of Artists and Intellectuals in Support of Ibero-American Indigenous Peoples (FAIPII), whose board of trustees is headed by Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón, a prominent defender of human rights. FAIPII director Adriana Arce told IPS the group expects to raise some 200,000 dollars, all of which will go towards financing five co-operative development projects in indigenous communities in Mexico. The money brought in by the concerts will help fund a group of authors who write in Mexican indigenous languages, an education programme on women's health and rights in Altos de Chiapas, the construction of homes and a development centre in Pueblo Triqui, a project to promote and recover Mexico's indigenous medical knowledge, and an inter-cultural education project in the Wixarika- Huichol area of Jalisco state. FAIPII was founded in 1993 by a group of Spanish artists and intellectuals, including Paco Ibáñez, Luis Eduardo Aute, Joaquín Sabina, Agustín Goytisolo and Carlos Cano, as well as judge Baltasar Garzón, who has risen to fame for his role in the human rights case against former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.

    http://flag.blackened.net/revolt/mexico/ip/ind.html
    Indigenous people
    Mexico is a complex society: we often hear or read or the peoples of Mexico, and this page can only give a very brief impression of the diversity. The Spanish invasion brought incredible destruction to these people. War and disease killed vast numbers, and both the military colonists and the Catholic missionaries sought to smash their societies. Great change has taken place, but even now, 504 years after Colombus first landed on the continent, Mexico is still home to 56 different indigenous peoples, each speaking their own language. The attacks, spearheaded by recent governments, on the ejido system (common lands administered by the community), for example, is a big threat to indigenous culture. As Tom Barry writes in his Mexico, a Country Guide , In many areas, caciques or rural bosses not only control land but also monopolise the marketing of nearly all regional production and the local food supply. In Chiapas, for example, the Tzeltales, Tzoltiles, Tojolabales, Chamulas and others have been pushed off their land and are now forced to provide cheap labor on large cotton and coffee plantations The 504 years of colonisation have also, however, been five hundred and four years of resistance. Indigenous peoples' organisations are now beginning to make a big impact, at least on the consciousness of Mexican society. Resistance to the destruction of the environment, defence of indigenous peoples' livliehoods and cultures, demands for development programmes and the protesting of human rights abuses are making the news. But, as the EZLN argued in their Declaration of War on the government, the mestizo establishment has not wanted to listen until it was forced to. Racism is a fact of life in Mexico (too): one that costs lives. But the struggle goes on, for the dead are only dead if they are forgotten.
