And the point of all this was?? The point im trying to make is that Aztecs and Mayas were nowhere near modern US. People need stop saying otherwise. Your argument about the Yaquis is kind of going in a different direction. Most modern day Mexicans are the product of white conquistadors having babies with Aztec and Mayan women.
And im guessing you believe in the fairy tale of Aztlan right?
This is hard evidence from archaeological digs. I live in Archaeology central. Home of the Anasazi (who traded with the Aztecs). Archaeologists cut their teeth in New Mexico. Ever heard of Chaco Canyon?
Once again its a generational problem introduced to them by whites.
It has to do with ethnic distribution of alcohol dehydrogenase, the enzyme the liver uses to clear this poison. Native Americans and SE Asians usually don't have as active a copy as Caucasians. So it affects them more severely. cn
No one said anything about the Maya and you're dead wrong about the Aztec.
Ballcourts and the 52 year calendar, but not the calendar round from what I read. The Hopi are basically Mesoamerican. The comparative mythology is fairly easy to discern also. The Sierra Madre people called Tarahumara can speak in native tongue with Navajo easily.
I mean Aztec indians did come up to the US, but not on there own. They were probably at gunpoint in shackles. I believe in what your saying, but like you say to me, your twisting it into a half truth.
yes and the conqisdador ruled all of mexico for spain.
disregard archaeological evidence, make uneducated assertion and cling to it like fact.
Yes, the Conquistadors. They are responsible for Mexicos current state if you ask me. They came thru and really tore some shit up, introducing diseases and shit.
Not to mention generations of psychological and cultural trauma. Several generations of natives in the southwest were forcibly removed from their homes and put in boarding schools. Many died from starvation, neglect, abuse, and exposure. They were beaten severely when they spoke their own language or expressed in any way their native culture. By the time most of them left the boarding schools they couldn't speak their own language. They couldn't converse with their own families. When they tried to get work in the border towns around the reservations the whites wouldn't hire them. A lot of them either left their homeland or became alcoholics. The damage was terrible to native cultures and it took a long time to recover. Some never did.
Its a known fact that the Spanish took the Aztecs as slaves, forcing them to go with them to be missionaries and do free labor. Look it up.
There I fixed it.
same thing that happened with blacks
So can certain tribes in Alaska the Dene. So what? The Apache and the Navajo are actually different bands of the same people. The Hopi are descended from the Anasazi you moron. Meso-American my ass. Where do you get this shit?
In shackles? What the fuck are you talking about? If there was any shackles or slavery involved it was the Navajo. Mexicans used to raid the Navajo lands and steal women and children. That's how the Nakai Dine'e clan came about (Mexican Clan).
