The Aztlan movement is nothing to worry about. They are just a bunch of wackos. It would be like claiming that the Montana Militia represents the people from Montana.

I read somewhere that Aztlan is supposed to be synonymous with Atlantis.  Does anyone buy that?Ermm

Well when I read the title i thought it had something to do with Atlantis. Apparently some Atlantis theories exist around the name, and once I read a novel about Atlantis and there were natives of America, vassals to Atlantis that called it Aztlan in their language..

Interresting topic...

I have noticed there's a tension sometimes in the US between Latin vs European descending people. What stroke me last summer I was there, was that I asked something a woman working at the airport and I got an answer in Spannish. She understood everything I said but refused to answer in English.

However, there's a reality some people have to accept. The US is a multicultural society where certain groups were invaded externally and internally. There will be always a tention within certain groups because of that. Basically history repeats itself in the US as it did in other places. As for the illegal immigrants, a discussion circulating a lot...Every sensible person i met, told me that the truth is that they do the job nobody else want to do. They also told me that their desperation that drives the to immigrate is a result of regimes that were supported before by the US.

I agree and it is a good analogy. Most Mexicans and other Hispanics I have talked to do not care for them and love America. We had the whacko Nazis who wanted to make the Pacific Nortwest a homeland for white people, what a joke. What do you do with the Native people who have been here for hundreds of years. I agree Hugoestr!!

Sadly, after the Americans came the population of the California Indians dropped to about 17,000. ...


Yes, it is very sad that after "Americans" settled in Mexican lands, suddendy the Indian population dropped quite fast.



Curiosly, it seems that once Americans arrive to Indian territory, like magic, 90% of Indians dissapear in thin air. I bet those are the sources of the 90% of the Indians that some repeat constantly and blame upon infectious disseases.


I wonder why with the Hispanics and Spaniards it wasn't the same Shocked


I bet it was just a coincidence. Or perhaps the bacterias that carried the "Americans" were stronger than the ones carried by average Mexicans and Spaniards. There must exist some scientific theory that explains it.


Yes, history is amazing and very instructive... And one can easily read between lines.



I think there was also some interbreeding but it was mostly disease that sadly killed them off. I have Iriqouis roots but it goes back a ways and it is a nice conservation piece about our family roots. My relatives did the research for the family tree.
