Adriana M Garcia su Censo Adriana M Garcia, an award winning artist, muralist, illustrator, scenic designer was born and raised in the west-side of San Antonio, Texas. Her debut picture book, All Around Us (written by Xelena González, Cinco Puntos Press), was awarded the prestigious 2018 Pura Belpré Honor for Illustration and the 2018 Tomás Rivera Book By Dr. Ricardo Romo Por Suzanne McCormick Por Franco By Yvette Tello Provided by COSA Award in the picture book category among other honors. Garcia just finished mural entitled Changing the World to be installed on the campus of Northwest Vista College this fall. The mural project that Adriana completed for the San Pedro Creek improvements project for the city of San Antonio’s third centennial celebration entitled De Todos Caminos Somos Todos Uno was selected and recognized as part of the Americans for the Arts 2019 Public Art Network (PAN) Year in Review. Only 50 projects were selected out of 361. In collaboration with area nonprofit organizations Garcia has created many community murals including SOMArts in California, South West Workers Union, Bill Haus Arts, San Anto Cultural Arts Center, and Casa de la Cultura in Del Rio, Texas. Her murals honor ancestors, speak to access to education as well as give voice to mental health and immigration issues. Adriana has exhibited her artwork both locally and nationally and has been invited to present at conferences, schools and museums such as National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies (NACCS) and the McNay Art Museum. She has enjoyed working as an arts administrator and an art/design instructor for both youth and adult learners. Title: De Todos Caminos Somos Todos Uno (From All Roads, We Are All One) Artist: Adriana M Garcia Dimensions: 11’H x 117’W The composition tells the story of how San Pedro Springs brought forth life, growth, and diversity in the San Antonio community. The left represents the west; the right represents the east. They come together (figuratively and literally) in the center of the mural. On either end we see the moment of contact when the Payaya people (members of the Coalhuitecan Nation) who were settled along the San Pedro Springs, encounter the settlers. These were Governor Don Martín de Alarcón, Father Antonio de San Buenaventura y Olivares, Father Isidro Félix de Espinosa, and the Canary Islander families. Time gets closer to the present as we move toward the center of the piece, where the San Pedro Springs come forth. The mural is bookended by the telling of the story, our story, San Antonio’s story. The mother and father figures represent the passing down of our heritage from generation to generation and speaks to the cycle of life. The indigenous story of the Anhinga water bird gathering sustenance from the Blue Jaguar river spirit swirls from the storyteller’s lips. 2 La Prensa Texas SAN ANTONIO 20 de Septiembre de 2020 Let’s Talk About It This grass roots publication is the life source for a community that is not easily afforded viable access to diverse and ac- Are you ready to die? cessible media.

  • Native American Languages, Indigenous Languages of the Native Peoples of North, Middle, and South America
    Native American Languages, indigenous languages of the native peoples of North, Middle, and South America. The precise number of languages originally spoken cannot be known, since many disappeared before they were documented. In North America, around 300 distinct, mutually unintelligible languages were spoken when Europeans arrived. Of those, 187 survive today, but few will continue far into the 21st century, since children are no longer learning the vast majority of these. In Middle America (Mexico and Central America) about 300 languages have been identified, of which about 140 are still spoken. South American languages have been the least studied. Around 1500 languages are known to have been spoken, but only about 350 are still in use. These, too are disappearing rapidly. Classification A major task facing scholars of Native American languages is their classification into language families. (A language family consists of all languages that have evolved from a single ancestral language, as English, German, French, Russian, Greek, Armenian, Hindi, and others have all evolved from Proto-Indo-European.) Because of the vast number of languages spoken in the Americas, and the gaps in our information about many of them, the task of classifying these languages is a challenging one. In 1891, Major John Wesley Powell proposed that the languages of North America constituted 58 independent families, mainly on the basis of superficial vocabulary resemblances. At the same time Daniel Brinton posited 80 families for South America. These two schemes form the basis of subsequent classifications. In 1929 Edward Sapir tentatively proposed grouping these families into superstocks, 6 in North America and 15 in Middle America.

PD Books PD Commons INTRODUCTION For two centuries after the discovery of America, Texas remained an unexplored and almost unvisited frontier province of Spain's far-flung empire. The reasons for this are not far to seek. First of all, Texas was almost inaccessible from the Spanish point of view. There were three possible ways of getting to it, each one less attractive than the pre- ceding. The one by sea was over the totally un- charted Gulf of Mexico, which was rendered doubly difficult by the peculiar formation of Matagorda Peninsula and the bay it protects.
