Cultural Understanding Through Folklore
Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1993 Volume II: Folktales Cultural Understanding through Folklore Curriculum Unit 93.02.05 by Christine Y. House Folktales have enchanted people for centuries. They were an important source of entertainment for peasants and princes alike in days of yore and still serve the same purpose today. But, folktales also serve another purpose, that is, to tell us about the way life was for the common man. History books are filled with the names and dates and events which shaped our world. It is folklore, however, which remembers the hopes, fears, dreams and details of everyday lives. Folktales continue to enchant people today for many reasons. They tell us our history, they describe where we live, what our values are and ultimately who we are. Children listen to folktales without prejudice. They don’t care whether the story is from the Grimm tradition, from Africa or from the western hemisphere. They seem to be able to separate fact from fantasy, for the most part, and hear the underlying message of the story. It is for this reason that I have chosen folktales to serve as an interdisciplinary unit of study. The focus of my unit will be to teach cultural understanding to third graders by reading, viewing and sharing folktales from a variety of sources around the world. It has become increasingly clear to me that many inner- city children don’t have a sense of their own history. They do not know stories of their ancestry or their native homelands. -

Charrería: the Artisanship of Mexican Equestrian Culture
Arte en la Charrería: The Artisanship of Mexican Equestrian Culture Educational Program by International Arts & Artists Table of Contents: I. What is Charrería? II. Events of the Charreada III. The origins of the Charreada IV. About the Exhibition V. Discussion Topics VI. Resource List VII. Glossary I. What is Charrería? Charrería is a Mexican cultural tradition that stems from the Spanish-inspired charreada. The charreada is a festive event that is similar to an American rodeo in its variety of competitive equestrian activities. Like the American “rodeo culture,” Charrería extends beyond horses and riders to include aspects such as costume, music, and food that bring a uniquely Latino culture to a sport that has its roots in Spain. The charreada began in Mexico in the 16th century when horses were introduced by the Spanish. As the Spanish tried to develop Central America for their own economic gain, they created an entire culture centered around agriculture and ranching in the haciendas they constructed. This is the culture that is reflected in Charrería. Although the main event is foreign-inspired, the culture reflected in the clothing, saddles, belts, hats, and spurs is largely inspired by traditional indigenous art. The Charrería has endured over five centuries because of the strength of the skills, sensibilities, and traditions that transcend regional and generational differences. Fearing the eventual loss of the Charrería culture, a group of charros, or the “cowboys,” who participate in the charreadas, united and formed various associations to preserve and promote this national culture. The Federación Mexicana de Charrería was founded in Mexico City in 1933 to govern the different charros associations that emerged. -

Je souhaiterais remercier les organisateurs du colloque de l’invitation. Je parlerai en français avec un accent très mexicain, mais vous parviendrez à me suivre grâce à ma présentation. J’évoquerai six points dans le cadre de mes recherches ethnohistoriques sur le Mexique et les Philippines. L’ethnohistoire au Mexique 2 L’ethnohistoire comme discipline assumée apparaît au Mexique dans les années 1970 au sein de l’École Nationale d’Anthropologie et Histoire (ENAH). Ses antécédents proviennent de l’étude de l’histoire ancienne du Mexique associée à la linguistique qui a pris son essor autour de 1950. 3 Les débuts de l’ethnohistoire mexicaine sont associés à une forme de rébellion face à deux réalités. -
