  • Santa Cruz Acalpixca's Sweet Tradition

A large number of residents, organized by family and specialty, make their livings this way. ochimilco is a town with character and X pride in itself. This lake region was populated in pre-Hispanic times by warriors from mythical Aztlán, amidst plentiful water, good fishing and generous harvests. Here, towns were founded that exist to this day, complete with their indigenous tra- ditions and customs. One of these is Acalpixca, known today for its multi-co- lored sweets, a delight to the palate. ORIGINS Seven tribes of Nahuatlacas (“people who speak clearly” in Náhuatl) left Aztlán on a pilgrimage to the Anáhuac Valley. The ones known as Xochimilcas were the first to leave, in the “year of the Lord 820” (the tenth century A.D.), and settled on the Cuahilama Hill in the old Xochimilco Lake area. They built their ceremonial center atop the hill, from where they could survey the movement of canoes, fend off attacks and care for their crops. Figures carved in stone represent- ing their gods in the form of animals and other symbols remain there, tracing the path to the top called the Great Boulevard. The cere- monial esplanade still shows vestiges of the Nahuatl conception of the universe: stones carved with the glyph of Nahui Ollin, who repre- sented the so-called fifth sun,1 and an ocelotl (jaguar) playing with flowers and butterflies.

Alongside this idea comes the widespread narrative that describes a barbaric, uncivilized group of indigenous people being conquered and subjugated by a more sophisticated and superior group of Europeans.

    MIRANDA’S guide to cdmx December 2019 www.miranda-partners.com Miranda’s Guide to CDMX This is intended to serve as a brief guide to complement other sources of information you most likely have on what to do in Mexico during the day, evening, night and early morning hours. It’s aimed at the seasoned traveler and focuses on good food, drinks and nightlife here in the city. For the average traveler, Mexico City (CDMX) can be divided into 5 key geographical areas, and since it’s a very large city, you should focus on 1 or 2 of these areas a day at most. We will divide the guide into these zones, going east to west: 1. Centro (Colonial center & museums). 2. Juárez (Monuments & nightlife). 3. Roma/Condesa (Trendy restaurants & shops). 4. Reforma/Polanco (Museums & top restaurants, offices). 5. South (San Angel/Coyoacan/Xochimilco). Where to stay? It depends where you want to be: - Centro: Gran Hotel Ciudad de México, the NH Centro Histórico or the Hotel Majestic. - Roma/Condesa: La Valise, Hotel La Casona, Brick Hotel, Condesa DF. - Reforma/Polanco: Four Seasons, Camino Real, Pugseal, Las Alcobas. - South: Don’t. - Airbnb works well in CDMX and will save you money. But pick a good location (Roma/Condesa/Polanco). Some Travel Tips FIRST exico has become a culinary destination, so it’s best to make reservations 3 or more weeks in advance for top restaurants or Mknow someone who can get you in. - Transportation: UBER, DIDI, GOOGLE MAPS and WAZE work brilliantly in CDMX. If you are brave enough, rent electric scooters (download app: Bird), shared bikes (UBER - JUMP).

  • Xochimilco. Aspectos Histórico-Culturales
    Xochimilco. Aspectos histórico-culturales Oscar Alatriste Guzmán CEPE-UNAM I. XOCHIMILCO PREHISPÁNICO. Localizada al sureste de la ciudad de México, Xochimilco, que en nahuatl significa “en la sementera de flores”, es una región que se ha caracterizado por ser lacustre y es- cenario de una historia rica en procesos y acontecimien- tos sociales desde tiempos remotos, de los cuales sus restos arqueológicos, monumentos coloniales y porfi- ristas, su extensa red de canales y chinampas, sus fiestas y tradiciones, son fiel testimonio. Bañado de agua dulce por varios ríos y 14 manantiales, el lago de Xochimilco, uno de los cinco que conformaban la cuenca de México, desde tiempos remotos proporcionó una amplia variedad de recursos alimenticios y condicio- nes materiales favorables para practicar la agricultura, a quienes se establecieron ahí desde tiempos lejanos. La región comenzó a ser pobladada desde tiempos prehis- tóricos. A partir del 1500 a. de C. estuvo bajo la influencia, primero de Cuicuilco, después de Teotihuacán y, final- mente, según diversas fuentes históricas, de los “Xochi- milcas”, primera de las siete tribus nahuatlacas en llegar a la cuenca de México, hecho que tuvo lugar a principios del siglo X d. de C.1 Habiendo pasado previamente por Tula, la familia Xochimilca llegó a rodear el valle de México hasta la re- gión del lago, donde se fusionó con los pocos nativos que 1 José Farías Galindo, aún vivían.

  • Land, Water, and Government in Santiago Tlatelolco
    ABSTRACT This dissertation discusses conflicts over land and water in Santiago Tlatelolco, an indigenous community located in Mexico City, in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The specific purpose of this study is to analyze the strategies that the indigenous government and indigenous people in general followed in the defense of their natural resources in order to distinguish patterns of continuity and innovation. The analysis covers several topics; first, a comparison and contrast between Mesoamerican and colonial times of the adaptation to the lacustrine environment in which Santiago Tlatelolco was located. This is followed by an examination of the conflicts that Santiago Tlatelolco had with neighboring indigenous communities and individuals who allied themselves with Spaniards. The objective of this analysis is to discern how indigenous communities in the basin of central Mexico used the Spanish legal system to create a shift in power that benefitted their communities. The next part of the dissertation focuses on the conflicts over land and water experienced by a particular group: women. This perspective provides insight into the specific life experience of the inhabitants of Santiago Tlatelolco during Mesoamerican and colonial times. It also highlights the impact that indigenous people had in the Spanish colonial organization and the response of Spanish authorities to the increasing indigenous use of the legal system. The final part discusses the evolution of indigenous government in Santiago Tlatelolco from Mesoamerican to colonial rulership. This section focuses on the role of indigenous rulers in Mexico City public works, especially the hydraulic system, in the recollection of tribute, and, above all, in the legal conflicts over land and water.
