Subject: Azteca Web Page Date: Sat, 11 Oct 1997 09:22:09 -0700 From: ismaelmartinez28@prodigy.net (Ismael Martinez) I think that the Azteca Web Page is an educational site which interests all those of us who come from Latino descent. And it also interests those from other cultures because they learn what's up with our culture. We have the most beatiful culture in the universe and I thank you for promoting it. The Azteca Web Page is educational and informative!!

As an American history teacher (of Anglo American descent) of 7th and 8th grade I find this site a wonderful resource for educating myself and directing the students I teach, who are also primarily European descent, to a reliable source of information.

Subject: Web Site Date: Tue, 05 Aug 1997 18:53:13 -0700 From: Veronica HernandezTo: mario@azteca.net To whom it may concern (Mario), Firstly, I just want to applaud your presentation of the culture and people of Mexican descent. I just wanted to ask something, have you thought of translating everything into Spanish? The reason I am asking is because I am working with a group of students (age 9 - 17) who are classified as migrant students in Arizona. Anyways, when I asked them to find some things about the culture, many of their searches came up to this site. Unfortunately, those that only know Spanish were not able to use the information because they did not understand it. I explained as much as I could, but because of time limitations, I was not able to give them the individualize attention I would of liked to give. I completely understand that translating everything into Spanish is time consuming, but please consider it if possible. Again, gracias por todo la informacion.

I was very proud to find it and find out that a person of your caliber is still interested in his heritage and nevertheless is constructing a positive networking system for everyone. I also would like to thank you for including MEChAs in your page, as you know for Mechistas it is difficult to get in contact with other Chicanos and what you have done was a good. I would also like to thank you on behalf of a chicano student doing research, your chat room is great. once again i hope you can continue this raising of self consciousness for our gente in aztlan.

Thanks for getting the Raza online; I applaud your efforts. I am head of the MEChA educational committee at the University of Texas at Austin. Your site has been helpful in educating ourselves about our indigenous culture. In your page, you ask for suggestions, so here's one. Maybe a current events page? Where information about marches, forums and other participatory activities could be posted. For example, the web page for Coordinadora 96, the Human Rights march on Washington D.C. scheduled for October 12, at http://www.coordinadora.org/ could be placed on this bulletin board. Do you know of any other centralized web sites such as this? At any rate, you will no doubt hear from me again as soon as I get MEChA's web page in order. Hasta pronto, --Dio

You've done a good job on the Web page. I'm an Organizer for the Fourwinds Student Movement, the same movement responsible for a great majority of the Anti-Prop 187 rallies in California, and also the movement responsible for the Hunger Strike in response to the closing of affirmative action programs in the University of California. At this momement, The Fourwinds is organizing a mass national recruitment program, where we are trying to identify the student organizers and leaders across the country who share the same beliefs and philosophy that the Fourwinds follows -- the Fourwinds in a multi-ethnic coalition of students. I've identified your web page as being one of the best Raza pages in the country, and the Fourwinds is requesting your assistance. We were wondering if you could post a link to our new (somewhat preliminary) web page on your site. The symbol below identifies the movement (the Olin).

Although I grew up my entire life hearing the terms Mexicano, Chicano, Latino, and the "H" word, it wasn't until I decided to minor in Latino and Latin American History that I truly understood the connotations of all of the above mentioned words. Today, (and always) I am a Chicana. I haven't found it anywhere in your page yet - but I also think that we have to address the issue of what a Chicano/Latino/*-American "looks" like. Because of my fair skin and green eyes I often hear "You don't look Mexican." "So what in God's name does a Mexican look like?" is often my response. I may be "white" on the outside but I'm as brown as you get on the inside. Even my own RAZA has chastised me. That bothers me even more than hearing those comments from mainstream USA. By address this issue I mean that we have to acknowledge the fact that we all don't look indigenous. But enough about that. I tend to ramble when I feel passionate about something close to my heart. I can never say thank you enough to all of our brothers and sisters that were involved in the political and social movements of the 1960's and 70's. Without their courage and determination, the cauza would have been lost. In their honor the Chicanismo of the 1990's must not be taken lightly. And to you Mario - all the power. The Movimiento needs people like you as beacons directing us towards unity. MIL GRACIAS. my address: Teresa_Solis-Pedroza@sedgus.com

Actually I have been moving very slowly at most things. I teach in the elementary and bilingual education program full time so that keeps me busy on a good day. Cultural News: There is a special screening of the Tomas Rivera story on Friday, March 22 at 7:30 at the California Theater in San Bernardino. It is a high school scholarship fund raiser at $5.00. For the artsy or minglers there is a VIP reception et al that includes a copy of the book "And the Earth did not swallow him"-a Chicano story of growing up in the 50's and 60's, $25.00. But on to dance, here on campus the students have started a group. I have only connected with a few of them, having not made a practice due to scheduling constraints and the need to realistically not start practicing yet. I do not usually surf the web and yours was the first page I encountered that was not of a group or University that came up. I found the web to be rather culturally limited. But this may just be a function of my lack of usage or browsing skills. I have seen the PBS Chicano Series information but that is about all I have turned up. If you time cruise my home page and give me feedback, please. I plan to make some more adjustments to it soon. It is at http://soe.csusb.edu/soe/faculty/IndivHP/torrez/NTINDEX.html and then school of education, and then elementary ed faculty and finally to my name. Keep in touch.

It does my heart good to know that not everybody became "Hispanic" and that there are still Chicanos in the world. I am currently in Pennsylvania persuing a PhD. but, my eyes are on Aztlan.

I was looking for information on the Aztecas and their Nahuatl language for reasons that I wish to share with you now. I am a horse breeder living presently in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I was raised in Jalisco, Mexico and fell in love with the culture, tradition and horses there. It was not until 7 years ago that I came in contact with a breeding program established in Mexico, in the Centro de Reproduccion de Pedro Domecq in Texcoco near Tenochtitlan, El Caballo de la Raza AZTECA!!! Mexico, finding itself many years ago in the predicament that they really did not have a breed of horse, with the Criollo breed of many years back, finding itself near the verge of extinction, decided it was time to "develop" a breed of National importance...a breed they could call their own, as other countries of the world. The Mexican "Azteca" horse...is a new breed. Not very well known to many people. I only hope that since you mentioned in your web page, the potential for different subjects that may be of interest...I feel I have much information to offer and hope to hear back from you as well.

It's especially gratifying to see the young raza read the material that you have included here. I'm currently a doctoral student at UT Austin on a fellowship in a program called the Cooperative Superintendency Program. As such, I have been a high school teacher, assistant principal, and principal; one of the things that always bothered me was that the younger Chicano generation was oblivious to the pioneers that marched, fought, sweated for equal opportunity. In the 70's, we would never have thought of killing each other with driveby's, etc. Our unity was based on our Chicanismo and the fact that we knew that things needed to change for us to get anywhere. I hope that more of the young students realize that they should never remain ignorant of our history. A tremendous and classic book is by Rudolfo Acuna who wrote Occupied America. In the area of fiction, Dagoberto Gil's, The Magic of Blood is inspiring. Sigue luchando. Nicolas Retana

So I did a search for "Nahuatl" and presto, your page pops up first. I was surprised to see that there were pages on this. Its great to see that we as a people, slowly but surely, are regaining our identity and culture.

I haven't browsed through everything, yet. But I did read the informative article on "What is a Chicano?" It was pretty interesting. I'm from Texas, actually from the Rio Grande Valley (southern tip of TX), but we don't normally call ourselves Chicanos, but Hispanics, or just plain Mexicans. Through my graduate study, it's been interesting to note the various names our people give themselves depending on the location they come from. Speaking to my professor who grew up in L.A. (Dr. Richard Tapia), regards himself as a Chicano, while I am a Mexican, Mexican-American, or Hispanic, though I'm now incorporating the term Latina and using Mexican-American more, and again it depends also which type of people you're with. A little about myself: I'm a 2nd year grad student at Rice Univeristy (Houston ) in Computational Mathematics. I'm from the Rio Grande valley and my parents are from Hualahuises, Nuevo Leon, which is close to Linares and Monterrey. Hasta luego, Cristina

I want to first tell you that I think your Site is great. I am of Aztec descent, and while searching for some education about my heritage, I was steered your way. I've been greatly interested in seeking out the origin of my name and people. I'm a Reliability Engineer with Lockheed Martin Space Operations Company at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. I'm 40, married, three kids and I make a great pot of Menudo. I grew up in Lawndale Ca. near Redondo Beach. I barely speak Spanish because my parents thought that, with an accent I would be more likely to encounter descrimination as they did when young. The main point of this letter is to say that, I would be very happy to see more of the people of our heritage realize their potential. To see more and more of the Raza on a path in the main stream of the professonal world makes me feel very proud. Coming from a very poor, sometimes not too bright, but happy big Mexican family, I grew up with very low goals , but a deep opinion that there was more in the world than I was used to. We need to reach all of the Raza and convince more of us that as a people, we are second to none when it comes to offering a strong and talented spirit with a unique perspective of life-- a gift from our ancestors, to professional ranks. When we shine, we can shine! We have to make others aware, they have alot to offer this world, we have to learn to mix the passion of our blood with the knowledge and pride of our ancestors. Your Site is a great place to help people gain some valuable info. Lot's of great informaion. If you are ever in Florida, I would be happy to escourt you and your Family on a tour of the Space Center and offer you a warm Tortilla. Thanks for your time and talent, Mario.

I have traveled to Mexico several times, to learn more and more about el lindo pais. I went especially to find out about the schools in the pueblitos, because I work with many people que vienen de pueblitos chiquitos of various parts of mexico, (but especially Hidalgo, Gto., Puebla) Me enamore de mexico hace unos años, and I hope to go and live there for a time and work in the field of education.

Or even better yet, I have heard of a college student in Swarthmore College putting up a home page illustrating up to the minute information on the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, Mexico. I did not keep a record of this home page, but I would recommend that you do research and find the home page.
