#mexican are indigenous

[sparky-cryptidcrafts]

Someone tried to act like I'm not allowed to call myself mixed bc I don't speak Spanish.

Both English and Spanish are colonizer languages. The one you speak is a byproduct of what kind of misson/residential school/ church your ancestors were abused by. Nothing more, speaking Spanish isn't a badge of honor to hold over your cousins heads just bc your part of the family wasn't displaced as quickly.

Being mixed also doesn't negate someone's lived experiences and culture. Neither does being a victim of cultural erasure/poverty and trying to reconnect.

Blood quantum is another tool that only aids cultural erasure.

I'm living in and working to help native communities, my own and others. I'm going to protests and powwows, I'm helping my friends club at their college to raise awareness for indigenous issues, I'm attempting to learn at least a little in my tribes and my friend's tribe's languages, as well as reconnect to my Scottish ancestors too.

I grew up homeless I had very little access to anything remotely cultural. Nearly all my energy was on finding something to eat and somewhere to sleep. Poverty in america is designed to erase culture. Having a community and reconnecting brought me stability and gave me a chance to learn and be apart of things. So sorry I didn't learn more Spanish, I might one day, but I'm going to learn tribal languages first.

And to any native or Mexican kids out there struggling to learn their languages with limited resources and limited access to reservations or elders, I see you, every word you learn is power you are reclaiming from the colonizers. Every syllable, every symbol, every word is rebellion, and I'm proud of you. Even if you only know one word, that's one word refusing to be forgotten, one small act of defiance they can't take from you again. Keep fighting.

#mixed kids #indigenous kids #indigenous languages #blood quantum sucks #Spanish is a colonizer language #english is a colonizer language #learn tribal languages #mexican are indigenous #everyone is indigenous somewhere #white isnt a culture its the erasure of culture #love your ancestors #speak to your ancestors #keeping mixed kids from reconnecting aids in cultural erasure and genocide

So like, I'm seeing such posts like "Namor this, Namor that but I was looking at [x person]. The straights are so annoying," (hi, I'm bi. We exist and also find Tenoch to be hot).

While I normally would be on board with this kind of sentiment and I get it, (cause again, hi, I'm bi), I would just like to remind yall that José Tenoch Huerta Mejía is a 41-year-old Mexican actor of Indigenous descent. Indigenous inclusion in both Hollywood and Latin television/ cinema is rare to come by, as is seeing them getting their flowers.

I would also like to point y'all to this tweet:

Darker-skinned Mexicans have a notoriously harder time getting on screen because of such concepts like Latinidad & Latin America's constant reach towards Spain (and by extension, whiteness).

All I'm saying is, let him have this. Our peoples rarely ever get this.

#tenoch huerta #namor the sub mariner #black panther #wakanda forever #bpwf #black panther wakanda forever #marvel #mcu #yes all the women are amazing as is tenoch so can we stop making digs at ppl for enjoying namor #like when was the last time an Indigenous Mexican actor became the latest heartthrob? never!

𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐄 Miguel O’Hara taking you horse riding in Tequila, Jalisco, México, in your first date with him in the afternoon, so high up the mountains to see the sunset and the beauty of the view and sounds of the bells chiming from Parroquia Santiago Apostol (the cathedral). You enjoy the view as if you were looking into the eyes of peace itself, however, Miguel is looking at you instead as if you were a gift from the Gods sent to earth.

Observe a 3D Reconstruction of Tenochtitlan

As history and archaeology gain more insight into the stories of the indigenous Americas, we get more tools to learn about them.

Here you can see a reconstruction of Tenochtitlan, at its height in the 15th century, with some of the most advanced science and art around the world. The population ranged somewhere between 200,000 to 400,000 and was the seat of power of the Triple Alliance (sometimes called the Aztec Empire).

See more reconstruction photos here!
