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.

Chiapas and the Zapatista rebellion Documents, communiques and images from 1994 to the present "The indigenous movement in which zapatismo is inscribed is not trying to return to the past, nor to maintain the unfair pyramid of society, just changing the skin color of the one who mandates and rules from above. The struggle of the Indian peoples of Mexico is not pointing backwards. In a linear world, where above is considered eternal and below inevitable, the Indian peoples of Mexico are breaking with that line and pointing towards something which is yet to be deciphered, but which is already new and better." - Marcos Beginners start here These will give you some background information on Mexican history, politics and society and on the struggles of the Mexican people Chronology of events The Zapatista rising occurred when four towns were seized on the Jan. 1 1994. The EZLN had been in existence in some form since 1983 but it is only after 1994 that we can begin to construct a clear history of the EZLN and events in Chiapas. The chronology is aimed to help us do this and includes what we consider to be the most important EZLN communiques.

Even a man who beats his wife in this village, atop a brown and prickly hill in the sierra of southern Mexico, is treated lightly by the traditional authorities who mete out justice, she says. But a woman who commits adultery is harshly punished. Ms. Vasquez, a Mixe Indian, has the right to vote for mayor in the village assembly, but she has never been able to vote for a woman. Women, she says, are never considered by the council of elders, which decides who will run.

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.

MYTHING LINKS by Kathleen Jenks, Ph.D. GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS: INDIGENOUS PEOPLES of LATIN AMERICA MESO-AMERICA: MEXICO Author's Note: 13 July 1999 I live in Southern California and Mexico City is only a few hours away by air. Yet I have never had any desire to visit that country. I like her people, but the country itself seemed so grey and poor, so desperate no rain, no housing, no hope. The winter of 1999 an American shaman-healer, Eliot Cowan (author of Plant Spirit Medicine ), trained by the Huichol Indians of Mexico, communed with the Huichol Fire God, Tatewari, who told him that I should go to Mexico for ceremonies of healing, protection, and rain-working. "No," I said, "I could die happy without ever going to Mexico." But Eliot insisted. Despite my skepticism, I went in early May 1999 to participate in a week of rain rituals up in the highlands south of Cuernavaca. There, Mexico, as a place, became real for me. I care about her soil and weather now, for I added my own prayers to those of the shamanic weather-workers who had come to join an old shaman in praying for rain. I have drunk Mexico's waters now, walked her cobblestones, eaten her volcanic-enriched maize and beans, and felt her burning sun....... Sunday, 4 June 2000:
