Purpose of the blog-- objectivo del blog

The purpose of this blog is to keep track of news related to Native American cultures throughout the Americas, but with special focus on Meso America. The blog will be written in both English and Spanish.

The creators of the blog have a particular interest in native communities getting autonomy in Mexico. We also seek to bring a greater understanding of the living Native American cultures in Mexico by the mainstream Mestizo population, which unfortunately has been historically biased against their mother cultures. Because of this, there will be, from time to time, some entries devoted at showing how Mexican customs really have a Native American root.

The authors of the blog are both mestizos living in the U.S.



El objectivo de este blog es seguir las noticias relationadas con culturas indigenas en las Americas enfocandose especialmente con Mexico y Centro America. El blog se escribira en ingles y espanol.

Los creadores del blog tienen el interes particular de que las culturas indigenas obtengan autonomia en Mexico. Tambien deseamos que la poblacion mestiza de Mexico, que desgraciadamente ha historicamente discriminado a las culturas madres indigenas, entienda y respete las cultural indigenas contemporaneas. Por esta razon, a veces tendremos articulos donde se monstrara como muchas de las costumbres mexicanas realmente tienen sus raices en costumbres indigenas.

Los autores somos mestizos viviendo en los Estados Unidos.
