He abused Native Americans to force them to follow his native beliefs from Spain. He was apart of the conquistadors mission of overtaking stolen lands from Native Americans & forcing their traditions & ways upon them. The statue is offensive & is showing that Ventura supports & praises the overtaking of Natives. I speak from the side of the abused, I am a proud Native American.

California Native Americans were forced to hide their stories, religions, and native identities, but they still survived. We do not need a statue to commemorate the hand legalized genocide of these ingenuous Californian people. After gold was discovered in 1848, laws passed and military orders were carried out to massacre California Native Americans. Junipera Serra deserves to be put in a museum with honest _description of the accurate and historical genocide that occurred. Upload Files Field not completed. Email not displaying correctly?

  • The Typology of Pamean Number Systems and the Limits of Mesoamerica As a Linguistic Area
    The typology of Pamean number systems and the limits of Mesoamerica as a linguistic area HERIBERTO AVELINO Abstract Pamean languages have been considered to be outside of the Mesoamerican linguistic area. However, the number systems of Pamean show typical Meso- american structures: order of constituents Multiplier-Base-Addend, and sys- tems with bases 10 and 20. Pamean languages have a typologically unusual, but consistent base 8. The present study presents a formal characterization of Pamean number systems. The distribution and peculiarities of Pamean number systems are explained as a result of their location at the border of a major lin- guistic area. Northern Pame has 8 as the only productive base, whereas Central Pame and Southern Pame show a greater influence of Mesoamerican traits. Keywords: cardinal numerals, linguistic area, Mesoamerica, number sys- tems, numeral, Pamean 1. Introduction In this article I present an analysis of the cardinal number systems of the Pamean languages Northern Pame, Central Pame and Southern Pame. My goals are twofold. First, I offer a formal characterization of Pamean number systems in terms of the typology of number systems. Second, I discuss the particulari- ties of Pamean number systems as a result of their location at the border of a major linguistic area, Mesoamerica.1 I show that Pamean systems present typ- ical Mesoamerican structures with the order of constituents Multiplier-Base- Addend and with bases 10 and 20. However, Northern Pame is of special inter- est for the typology of number systems owing to the consistent use of a base 8. 1. As defined by archaeologists, Pamean languages are spoken in the cultural area known as Arid-America or the Gran Chichimeca: see Di Peso (1974) and Kelly (1966) for classic ap- proaches, and several essays in Reyman (1995) for more recent studies.

Gold* INTRODUCTION When a sheriff arrests a postal employee for murder, does the arrest violate a law against obstructing the passage of the mail?' Or, suppose that a statute makes it illegal to "draw blood" in the streets. Do its terms apply to a doctor who performs emergency surgery in the street?2 What of a prisoner who breaks out of prison because the building is on fire? Does his flight violate a law against prison escapes? 3 Many would say that these laws should not be taken literally. In order to avoid odd results, however, courts sometimes have to rewrite a statute's words. For example, the Ninth Circuit recently concluded, while interpreting the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005, that the word "less" actually means "more. ' 4 Other courts have found that the word "of' means "or,"5 and the word "unlawful" means "lawful." 6 Should judges ever have the power to revise unambiguous statutes? Textualists generally say no to this question, and yet they recognize * Assitant Professor, DePaul University College of Law.

On the one hand, I offer a formal characterization of Pame number systems in terms of the typology of number systems in natural languages. On the other hand, I discuss the particularities of Pamean number systems as a result of their location at the border of a major linguistic area, namely Mesoamerica.1 I show that Pamean systems present the typical Mesoamerican structures with the order of constituents Multiplier-Base-Addend, and base ‘20’ and ‘10’ systems.

  • Reasons Why Indigenous People Migrate and Settle in Guanajuato, Mexico Perla Shiomara Del Carpio Ovando1
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 5, No. 2; February 2015 From Communities to the Cities: Reasons Why Indigenous People Migrate and Settle in Guanajuato, Mexico Perla Shiomara Del Carpio Ovando1 Ricardo Contreras Soto Daniel Vega Macías Research professors University of Guanajuato Campus Celaya-Salvatierra Abstract Introduction: Internal migration has been one of the main factors of economic and social change in Mexico. Since 1940, continuous flow of migrants from the countryside to the city strengthened the national urban system, which currently accounts for close to 71% of the population. Indigenous population is actively involved in these migration movements, often in response to poor socioeconomic conditions in their places of origin. This research investigates the reasons for migration of indigenous groups living in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. Methods: The research is based on qualitative in-depth face-to-face interviews to a non-random sample of a population. Fieldwork was conducted from June 2013 and June 2014 in the southeastern and northeastern of Guanajuato. Main results: The research shows that a poor living condition is the main reason why indigenous people migrate and settle in Guanajuato, many of them trying to escape from extreme poverty. Other issues highlighted in the research are family and school reasons. Conclusions: Even though the motives of internal migration of indigenous groups in México have numerous points of overlap with migrations in general, such as the search for better living conditions, one aspect that distinguishes it is the strategic use of the indigenous identity in order to function and deal with, in some way, spaces and experiences of discrimination or exclusion.

The Genetic History Of The Otomi In The Central Mexican Valley Abstract The Otomí, or Hñäñhü, is an indigenous ethnic group in the Central Mexican Valley that has been historically marginalized since before Spanish colonization. To investigate the extent by which historical, geographic, linguistic, and cultural influences shaped biological ancestry, I analyzed the genetic variation of 224 Otomí individuals residing in thirteen Otomí villages. Results indicate that the majority of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes belong to the four major founding lineages, A2, B2, C1, and D1, reflecting an overwhelming lack of maternal admixture with Spanish colonizers. Results also indicate that at an intra-population level, neither geography nor linguistics played a prominent role in shaping maternal biological ancestry. However, at an inter-population level, geography was found to be a more influential determinant. Comparisons of Otomí genetic variation allow us to reconstruct the ethnic history of this group, and to place it within a broader-based Mesoamerican history.

Morris Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2006 The thesis of Douglas S. Morris was reviewed and approved* by the following: Patrick Shannon Professor of Education Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Coordinator of Graduate Studies Jacqueline Edmondson Associate Professor of Education Paul Youngquist Professor of English Jeanne Hall Associate Professor of Communications *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT The following study examines the relationship between militarized Hollywood cinema, the US culture of militarism, the systemic nature of US aggression, and the possibilities for creating a pedagogy of hope that will work to overcome militarism’s abominations. By recognizing film as a powerful form of public pedagogy that shapes beliefs, attitudes, and values, constructs identities and identifications, and directs allegiances and actions (or inactions), the study investigates ways in which Hollywood films work to convey and inculcate circumscribed notions of history through regularized patterns of film images and narratives in pursuit of the indirect or direct goal of distracting public attention, along with conditioning the public mind, engineering public consent, and mobilizing public support for a US culture of militarism dedicated to aggression in the pursuit of global domination. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1.
