Pialli-Hi Gente de Claremont, I appreciate you all sharing your very precious memories of growing up in your beautiful barrior de Claremont, CA. It’s imperative that you all keep your stories alive because this rich history isn’t always told nor known to others due to erasure. I’m Xikana and I grew up in Boyle Heights / Los Angeles. A few years ago my sistarz and I hosted an Indigenous Peoples Day celebration to share, educate, connect and honor the original people (Tongva) of that territory as well as all native territories and people. We all had a blast especially singing our prayers around the ceremonial drum. Unfortunately because of ignorance, fear and racism, we were not welcome back to host a second Indigenous Peoples Day. We all are part of the web of life, therefore we must learn to co-exist! Ometeotl A’ho 🌎💦🌪️🔥✊🏾💜✌🏾
The annual Chumash Day Powwow in City of Malibu is 2 day outdoor event each April. Held at Malibu Cliffs Park. Contact City of Malibu. I have filmed in numerous times, the usually have a calpulli group to perform. It is an intertribal powwow, all tribes.
A lot of people forget that cities like Claremont, San Dimas, La Verne all had their Barrios. I grew up in "La Colonia" part of San Dimas and it seems that only we knew these small local city's real histories. Props to you for this, keep on telling our people's story!
There was a huge Mexican parade and festival near the DC Mall yesterday. Very long and colorful. The music was powerful and amazing. It almost felt like a dare to Donald Trump and MAGA. Go ahead and try to deport us. Go ahead and try!
@@yvonneplant9434 those type of parades gives us a bad name. We should have also respect for the country where we live in.. this country gave us the financial opportunities we were looking for and more. For those reasons I would never join any of these events. If I was in Mexico and there was ppl from another country flying their flags left and right, it would be disrespectful.. we shouldn’t forget where we came from but let’s show respect for this nation that has given us so much 🇺🇸
My grandparents owned the first hotel in Claremont, 144 Berkely Ave., Claremont, CA. The Lemon packing house was right next to their home. Now, the Claremont Police Department stands.
I lived in Claremont for many years and could literally envision what it looked like back then with the map in this video. Claremont has always been awesome when it comes to performing arts.
My grandparent's names were Esteban & Maria Gonzalez, 144 Berkely Ave., Claremont, CA. Then the Banuelos Sisters took care of the priest's house at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church, Claremont, CA.
Claremont area, Mount San Antonio is the peak to north of downtown. I filmed powwows on a grassy field on northwest corner of the campus. The town is nice, clean, mellow.
Yeah, a lot of people never left the barrio a lot of Hispanics Latinos, and in constantly reminding us about the barrio, you continue perpetuating a lack of progress of many of us, Latinos by focusing on the past and how they posed in pictures dressed like in the 50s and so on. It’s like that whole Lowrider street gang kind of thing going on where it’s like it’s not 1974. It’s 2024. The point of my common is that we’re constantly reminded that we can never really go beyond the bar. Therefore other Latinos that work hard through college work hard to evade all that pulls them back down to Progress and are always pulled back down and we’re given limits. That’s what this reminds me of constantly. And it’s a battle constantly to say no I don’t buy into this. I want to move ahead.
Proud to be mex-american by birth Tejano by the grace of God 🇺🇸. Saludos de El Sur de Tejas.
Born in Texas , but I love California.
