Download or read book Our Slippery Earth written by Kurly Tlapoyawa and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern-day descendants of the Nawa peoples have inherited a complex cosmovision from their indigenous ancestors. This philosophical and scientific achievement is the product of a thorough and disciplined observation of the natural world. In Our Slippery Earth, Kurly Tlapoyawa asserts that there is a logical evolution of the Nawa cosmovision from that of a myth-based set of beliefs to a more scientific worldview grounded in pantheism. This evolution represents a profound philosophical process that allows modern day descendants of Mesoamerican civilizations to maintain their traditions in the modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the most pervasive myth among New Mexican Spanish speakers is the notion that New Mexican Spanish is an archaic form of Castilian. This idea comes from the misconception that New Mexico existed in a continuous state of isolation, separated from the rest of New Spain and the later Mexican Republic by hundreds of miles and for hundreds of years, causing its colonial inhabitants to retain the language of sixteenth-century Spain. This idealized vision of Spanish "purity" has been repeated so often, and with such near-religious zeal, that is has come to be accepted as fact in many circles. However, this romanticized version of New Mexican Spanish simply doesn't exist. To cling to this myth is to ignore the complexity of New Mexico's colonial-era history, which in reality is quite different, and far more fascinating than any notion of Spanish "purity" can offer. The Indios Mexicanos that made up the bulk of New Spain's northward expansion brought with them many rich linguistic and cultural traditions, the impact of which can be felt to this very day. These Indios Mexicanos spoke a variety of Mesoamerican languages, but it was the Nawatl (Nahuatl) language of the Aztecs that would have the largest impact on the way Spanish is spoken in New Mexico. The influence and contributions made by Mesoamerican people to the state of New Mexico and Southern Colorado have been ignored for far too long. Regardless, Mesoamericans have left an indelible mark on New Mexico, and totacho - our way of talking - remains.

Download or read book Supplement to the Handbook of Middle American Indians Volume 4 written by Ronald Spores and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixteen-volume Handbook of Middle American Indians, completed in 1976, has been acclaimed the world over as the single most valuable resource ever produced for those involved in the study of Mesoamerica. When it was determined in 1978 that the Handbook should be updated periodically, Victoria Reifler Bricker, well-known cultural anthropologist, was elected to be general editor. This fourth volume of the Supplement is devoted to colonial ethnohistory. Four of the eleven chapters review research and ethnohistorical resources for Guatemala, South Yucatan, North Yucatan, and Oaxaca, areas that received less attention than the central Mexican area in the original Guide to Ethnohistorical Sources (HMAI vols. 12-15). Six substantive and problem-oriented studies cover the use of colonial texts in the study of pre-colonial Mayan languages; political and economic organization in the valleys of Mexico, Puebla-Tlaxcala, and Morelos; urban-rural relations in the Basin of Mexico; kinship and social organization in colonial Tenochtitlan; tlamemes and transport in colonial central Mexico; and land tenure and titles in central Mexico as reflected in colonial codices.
