I'm 100% Mexican American 6 years ago I'd take a DNA test my results came back I have 42%Indian and 25%Spanish and 21% Greek/Roman and 5%finish I'm proud of this. But I wish I know exactly what tribe of Indians I'm related to.
Ask Dna for your haplo group A-B-C-Or D you gives map where your haplo groups are Scattered from China to now USA to South America shows Your ancestors route ….good luck
That's a really good lesson! Totally makes sense and add so much context to history that hispanistas and indigenismo especially in Xicano studies misses!

I always had a feeling Mexican history wasn’t just black and white. Politics then we’re complicated just like today. I’m glad there’s someone who sheds light on this topic. Awesome content!
I have been reading about the New Spain and listening to old baroque Composers such as Ignacio Jerusalem and his pieces like “Al Combate” and at times I will admit I get nostalgic for New Spain. I say this being Jaded by Modern Mexico and it inexcusable corruption and incompetent government. I Think kinda with a guilty feeling. “I wish Mexico were like New Spain again.” I wish for a renaissance of Novohispanic culture.
Why be “like Spain”? I get your sentiment but I would express it differently. I don’t want anything to do with Spain although i don’t hate them. I want a new and strong Mexico that can get its sh*t.
@@briansanchez6699 I would understand that it doesn’t make sense because I said New Spain and not Spain. Its incredible that you read my entire comment and decided to take the “New” out…This type of blatant dishonesty is unbecoming. Nevertheless I will go into depth. As I see it NEW Spain was the Zenith of Mexican culture in my opinion compared to Modern Mexico trying its very hardest being a little Anglo fiefdom. Dancing to the tune of American culture. You can see it in Mexico City with its bland International style architecture like any ugly tower of glass and steel in New York. Mexico as it is to day in character in its pursuit of Money like the US. What more can I say. Once we were a respectable Kingdom in an Empire at its Zenith. Now we’re a miserable and poverty stricken Republic with American educated elite that suck up the wealth of the nation. How can I not be nostalgic for the New Spain of Juan O’Donoju and Iturbide ect. When in Mexico there are flayed cadavers hanging from bridges.
@@briansanchez6699 we need to start thinking in terms of civilization. For right now the US owns the entire North American Space but its empire is dying much like Rome. Much the same way the Anglo-Protestants were drawn to the Eastern US as it reminded them of Brittanica the Hispanic sphere of influence extends beyond the US-Mexico border all the way to Alaska. But we need to keep maintaining our culture and heritage if our descendants are to inherit this Hispanic heritage.
@@sebastianprimomija8375 Exactly in the US an example of this is the City of Santa Barbara. It’s in the US but it’s culture, language, and heritage is undeniably a product of New Spain. It’s insulting that the WASP gets to live and reside in the city built by our own people while we lick their boots in culture and economically.
@@vizsla8579 You and I are of minds-alike. Of the US and Mexico, Mexico is the Elder why should we Mexicans prostrate ourselves to Americans? Should we prostrate ourselves onto them because their pockets are deep? What good is money when you are a deracinated individual with culture dolled out by television and commercials. Should we Mexicans be known in history second only to Men who collect Funko-pops and super hero comics. Who lose their minds when a new Marvel movie is announced. At least back in history America had great men who were incredibly respectable and had great gravitas. Which making diplomacy with was an honor. Those days are gone.
I think when people refer to Spaniards bringing infectious diseases they are referring to the book Guns, Germs, and steel by Jared Diamond. But Diamond is a geographer and his world view is shaped on how processes, culture, language, and goods are spatially diffused across the world.
I actually don't agree with such arguments that the diseases had a decisive role in the conquests. Spaniards were always outnumbered, especially in the first 100 years when most of the warfare occurred. The final years of the war with the Chichimecas, which ended in 1590, for example, was left almost entirely up to Tlaxcalan, Purepecha, and Otomí allies. Look up Captain General Valerio de la Cruz. He was an Otomí leader that basically led much of the Spanish forces. What made Spain so successful were their ability to form alliances and incorporate Indigenous people into Imperial leadership (nobles, military leaders, republicas de indios, etc). Also, any such diseases also impacted Spain's allied Indigenous forces, so both sides were disadvantaged in war. People are surprised when I discuss Spanish-Indigenous alliances. But I remind them that, in 1810, Miguel Hidalgo led an Indigenous-Criollo (Spanish) alliance to attempt to topple the government in Mexico City. Miguel Hidalgo was, in fact, fighting to restore the king of Spain who had been overthrown by Napoleon. The people who rose up in Mexico in 1810 were Criollos (the descendants of the conquistadors and settlers) and Indigenous people (the descendants of the allies).
@@TheTokyoDrifter Your response to the disease as a weapon comment was they cherry on top. It is simply not true and is something that is created as propaganda against the Spanish mainly by English speakers. Why do so many Hispanics fall for this type of narrative that essentially comes from Spain's mortal enemies (atleast at that time ~1500 to 1800?
Can you talk about the oppression of our roots because of assimilation. So many don’t speak Spanish and lose touch with our culture and roots. I didn’t learn Spanish because of discrimination and racism and having to reclaim my cultural identity. We lose our heritage because of suppression and the trauma from colonialism from the colonizers.
All societies have ways to differentiate people. Even today, if you live in the United States or Mexico in 2023, you also have to identify with a race. Have you ever been asked for your race on a form? Been offered a scholarship that was designated for a specific race? In both countries, affiliation with a Native or Black community has legal implications.

I’m researching this too and I did my DNA on Ancestry and I’m 50% with Apache and ChiChimeca native and still researching.

It’s why I’m so prideful of my roots because my family has never left the land of New Mexico which includes Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado etc.
Where can i find more of your podcasts ??

Right, not every Mexican-American comes from Aztec roots. Many different tribes in Mexico.
I wanna know who this big brown guy is 😅
