  • A name... centuries of slander, controversy and myth.
    The term "Chichimeca" is one that been treated as a mere substitute for the European term "Barbarian", but the reality behind this term is far more complex and that usage makes it no justice to say the least. So let's discover the truth behind it.

      Just watched the video about how the European idea of "Amazons" heavily shaped how they viewed the people of the Americas. So cool. It's an "oh duh" kind of realization that I think deepens our understanding of our own cultural bias'.

    There is a sense of historical irony in that the people who resisted colonization were labled Chichimeca as an insult when really by resisting colonization they embodied the cosmic ideal of the Chichimeca as noble, brave and frugal warriors. I bet the term is ripe for reclamation in that sense, like how Scottish Highland clans came to be associated with freedom because of Braveheart.

    Hi, I love the info you are offering, THANK YOU... , but I have a problem with the accent.
    The subtitles available are in Spanish.
    The "automatic" translation into English subtitles is way off.
    I mean, the words used orally are NOT the words used in the English subtitles.
    I keep watching, I'm 5:00 in, yet the accent and words mispronunciations are bothersome.

    Aridoamerica siempre me ha intrigado, soy del norte de Tamaulipas, hasta donde tengo entendido la mayoria de las tribus nativas fue diezmada y alguna que otra pudo huir al norte, como los carrizo- comecrudo.
    Ojala algun dia puedas hablar sobre Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, su odisea por el norte de Mexico fue fascinante.

    • @AztlanHistorian
      @AztlanHistorian  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Los comecrudos no fueron desplazados; se quedaron y resistieron en sus tierras hasta el final.
      La verdad no hubo realmente grandes desplazamientos de nativos huyendo de los españoles, en el sentido de que huyeran largas distancias; y curiosamente, los casos mas notorios de grupos indígenas emigrados al norte como los tlaxcaltecas de Coahuila, fueron parte de los propios planes de colonización españoles; ya que los españoles usaron nativos de Mesoamérica como colonos en el norte.
      En cuanto a los grupos nativos de Aridoamérica, como los irritilas, tobosos, guachichiles, etc; si, la mayoría fueron asimilados o exterminados, pero algunos se las arreglaron para persistir como los raramuri y los tepehuanos, y aun siguen entre nosotros. Saludos

    • @AztlanHistorian
      @AztlanHistorian  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The Wixarika ARE one of the groups dismissed categorically as "Chichimeca" (in its colonial use as "Barbarian") by the Spaniards; and generally speaking most of said groups are gone, although some like the Wixarika, the Jonaz and other groups I mention in the video are still around, but as very small minorities in modern Mexico

    Difiero en cuanto a tu punto sobre que lo único que define al término Tolteca era vivir asentados en Altepemeh, como "citadinos", por decirlo de alguna manera. Ahora explico por qué:
    En los mitos fundacionales de los Tlaxcaltecas, Huexotzincas y demás grupos del valle Poblano-Tlaxcalteca se pone mucho enfasis en los conflictos que hubo como los Olmeca-Xicalanca, grupos también asentados en grandes complejos urbanos y que en las fuentes están perfectamente diferenciados de los Toltecas.
    Yo creo que "lo Tolteca" estaba no solo definido por vivir en ciudades a diferencia de los Chichimecameh, sino que también había un canon cultural que separaba a los Toltecas de otros grupos también asentados en el centro de México, como los ya mencionados Olmeca-Xicalanca. Tal vez este canon cultural diferenciado era de procedencia Teotihuacana.

    • @AztlanHistorian
      @AztlanHistorian  ปีที่แล้ว

      No se de donde dedujo señor que según yo " lo único que define al término Tolteca era vivir asentados en Altepemeh". No solo nunca dije semejante oración, puesto se sería incorrecta, ya que había altepemeh chichimecas (cosa que digo en el video); sino que literalmente explico en el video que solo uso una interpretación del termino, ya que existen muchas acepciones, las cuales no son el tema de este video.
      Le exhorto a volver a ver el video para que no distorsione mis palabras y además le recuerdo que este video tiene un acompañante en el canal de Ancient Americas dónde explican a detalle las múltiples interpretaciones del termino "Tolteca". Saludos
      PD. Chichimecah es un plural, asi que "Chichimecameh" es incorrecto, y aclaro que "altepetl" no significa necesariamente ciudad, ya que puede significar comunidad, pueblo o incluso localidad.
