Mario-Aguilar-Dissertation-2009.Pdf Abstract of the Dissertation The Rituals of Kindness: The Influence of the Danza Azteca Tradition of Central Mexico on Chicano-Mexcoehuani Identity and Sacred Space by Mario E. Aguilar Claremont Graduate University San Diego State University 2009 Since its arrival in the United States from central Mexico in the mid 1970s, the indigenous ritual cycle of dance known as La Danza Azteca (the Azteca dance) has had profound impact on the self-identification, resiliency, and concept of sacred space of the Mexican-American, Chicano, and other Latino communities. Using the Nahuatl term “Mexcoehuani” to identify these communities as one multi-faceted membership group, this study through an online survey, auto-historia narrative, and an auto-ethnography has studied the impact of La Danza Azteca on its practitioners. The data collected in this research shows that La Danza Azteca tradition, known to its Mexican practitioners as the “rituals of kindness” has roots deeply imbedded in the ancient cultures of Mesoamerica. The arrival of the Spanish invaders in 1519 added a new tradition of Christianity to the old indigenous traditions. This lead to the creation of “Indocristiano” a new syncretic paradigm of resistance, resiliency, and evolution in religion, art, and dance. Through over 400 years of history, La Danza Azteca has given its practitioners in Mexico a system of membership, survival, and continuity with their indigenous identity. The arrival of La Danza Azteca in the U.S. gave the Mexcoehuani community a new paradigm of identity, space, and spirituality. At first mixing in the non-Mexican traditions of the U.S. American Indian nations, the Mexcoehuani have had 36 years to learn the traditions of Mexico. The process of integrating themselves into the Mexican dance tradition, while still developing their own resiliency and self-determination, has been one of La Danza Azteca’s key features in the U.S. The rituals of kindness of La Danza Azteca have given the Mexcoehuani communities of the U.S., a third space within the identities of the United States and Mexico, of identity, membership, and self-determination. The Mexcoehuani communities call this space “Aztlan.” Aztlan has no physical space; wherever there are Mexcoehuani, Aztlan is present. Dedications I would like to give tlazcamati, (thanks) to our creator, our lord and lady of creation for giving me the blessing of living to see the day when my lifelong dedication to La Danza Azteca was transformed into this dissertation. I would like to give tlazcamati to my wife Beatrice Zamora Aguilar for her love, patience, and support in this journey. Tlazcamati to my son and daughter, Andrés and Sofia, for their love and inspiration. Tlazcamati to my parents, Leonel and Melly for my Mexican indigenous heritage.

Tlazcamati to my compadritos José Salinas, Samuel Padilla, Salvador Sámano, and Sergio Velarde who have gone on before us. Tlazcamati to my compadritos and comadritas in our dance circle, Danza Mexi’cayotl, for their love, dedication, and support. Tlazcamati to all the pipiltin (children) in our dance circle, for they are why I took on this challenge. Tlazcamati to my Tlamachtiquetl John Sullivan, and the kind and gentle people of the Instituto de Docencia e Investigación Etnológica de Zacatecas: Delphina, Urbano, Manuel, Eliazar, Victoriano and Ofelia. Tlazcamati to my carnales Rolando and Rudy, whose love and support have helped me keep sane and happy throughout this 35 year journey. In addition, Tlazcamati to Chunky, Alurista, and Juan Felipe, for having gotten me involved in the path of the tree of life. ¡Él es dios! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge the help and support of my dissertation committee members Drs. Rafaela Santa Cruz, Lourdes Arguelles, Alberto Ochoa, and John Regan. I would also like to acknowledge the help and support of my carnal Rudy Jacobo, and my sister Bonnie Reddick, who together, completed our gang of three. Thanks to John Sullivan, Ceci Necoechea, and Gwen Hoyt for your support in this journey. I would like to acknowledge and thank Rafael Hernandez, our director at the UCSD Early Academic Outreach Program. Without your kind and humane approach to staff development and support, this research would have been tremendously more difficult to complete. I would like to acknowledge the wisdom and knowledge shared by my friends Roger and Cynthia Maze, who have shown me the connections between our two nations. In addition, I would like to acknowledge the wisdom and knowledge shared with me by Eddie and Bernie Bautista, who have walked ahead of us into the spirit world. vi PREFACE: REFLECTIONS “It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.” -Emiliano Zapata. “Mexico looks to Spain, Chicanos look to the Northern tribes for acceptable identity and validation.” - Argelia Andrade, C.

I felt as if from the time I was born till that day I was asleep, and from that moment on it was a spiritual awakening… -Dancer Xiuhcoatl in narrative. “I can remember probably being about five or six; I was definitely running around already. But at that age it seemed that it was really normal, like that’s just the way it is.

Whether you like the other person or not, it is a circle and it unites.” -Xipecihuatl in narrative. “We believe we are caretakers of our Danza, so we carry it with pride taking care to dance only where we believe we should… It doesn’t make you better than others…but you work the Danza and you weave it into your modern life as best you can.” -Cihuacoatl in narrative. vii Table of Contents ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ...........................................................................................

  • The Remarkable Hydrological Works of the Aztec Civilization
    Water for the Future: Hydrology in Perspective (Proceedings of the Rome Symposium, April 1987). IAHS Publ. no. 164,1987. The remarkable hydrological works of the Aztec civilization JOSE A. RAYNAL-VILLASENOR Water Resources Program, Engineering Graduate Studies Division, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, 04510 Mexico, DF , Mexico ABSTRACT The Aztec civilization has been described as one of the most remarkable cultures in the world, not only because of its material achievements, but also because of its rapid evolution from a tribe of nomads to a highly sophisticated society which was able to produce beautiful pieces of poetry as well as complex urban developments. The Aztecs surrounded, in the beginning, by enemies, built a city in the middle of a lake. Among the remarkable pieces of engineering produced by the Aztec culture, are their hydrological works. The Aztecs were able to build magnificent aqueducts as well as flood control works and they were responsible for the develop­ ment of a unique hydroponic form of irrigation: the chinampas. This paper describes their main hydrological works of the Aztec's, and their most important water gods are considered and their relation to the culture explained. Les ouvrages remarquables hydrologiques de la civilisation aztèque RESUME La civilisation aztèque a été décrite comme une des cultures les plus remarquables du monde, non seulement a cause de ses réalisations matérielles mais aussi en raison de son évolution rapide d'une tribu de nomades à une société fort sophistiquée qui a su produire de beaux morceaux de poésie aussi bien que des développements urbains complexes, et qui a construit une cité au milieu d'un lac, bien que les Aztèques aient été entourés d'ennemis au début.

Alfonso Gómez-Rossi, Sara Guadalupe Santillana-Arce and Gabriela Lechuga-Blázquez. …………………………………………………………………………………………………….... Manuscript Info Abstract ……………………. ……………………………………………………………… Manuscript History During the nineteenth century a transatlantic migration took place between the valley of Toranzo in Spain and the city of Puebla, Mexico. Received: 15 January 2018 The relocation of Spaniards comprised both a chain and circular Final Accepted: 17 February 2018 migration that involved moving to Puebla from Spain, and in some Published: March 2018 cases, returning to their home province with the capital they had Keywords:- accumulated through the exploitation of textile mills and agricultural Puebla, Borleña, chain migration, enterprises. The first migratory movement involved the Gómez de kinship, capital. Rueda siblings who journeyed between the years of 1838 and 1858. The second migratory movement involved kinsmen from the Spanish hamlet: the Martínez-Conde siblings and the González de Collantes brother’s. Most of the immigrants built important capitals in Puebla’s pre-revolutionary history (1910-1917) and returned to Cantabria after making their fortune in the Western Hemisphere, reinvesting some of the profits by improving the hamlet whence they had departed. The article takes a micro-historical approach, which explores a group of vecino’s regional and familial network's impact on the place of departure and the destination.

Box 872402, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA Abstract Historical interpretation of political dynamics in pre-conquest central Mexico from indigenous records is fraught with difficulties. Beyond the basic challenges involved in interpreting fragmentary evidence is the fact that the majority of evidence comes from the dominant imperial polity (Tenochtitlan) and paints a biased and overly generalized view of political and social dynamics in provincial areas. We present a reconstruction of the political geography of the Toluca Valley of central Mexico in Aztec times that avoids these biases by focusing not on the events described in native histories, but on the individual towns and their spatial locations. We find that a theoretical perspective that defines political entities by networks and relations among people more adequately captures the historical situation than traditional models that define polities based on territory and boundaries.
