Love the video! My 3x great-grandmother was a full-blooded Chumash who grew up on Mission San Juan Bautista. I hope in the future there are more publicly available Chumash resources, and it amazes me the language survived into the 1960s. My 3x great-grandmother married a man from Sonora who was from the "Amio" tribe, although I have no idea which tribe that could be (perhaps "Mayo" through a simple metathesis sound change but who knows?) Also I love your book "Learn Nahuatl"!
That’s awesome bro! Yes, you look like a normal Mexican, but then again, most Mexicans or the average Mexican, is of 60% Native American ancestry. The central and northern Mexican natives are basically the same or very similar to the southwest natives.
Loved the video! Would you guys know anyone that still speaks the Guachichil (huachichil) language from San Luis Potosí? Or spoke it? It's a stretch maybe you do.
No, unfortunately Huachichil went extinct years ago with almost no documentation, but most people believe it was closely related to Huichol/Wixarika. It's a tough language to learn but I'd say go for it!
Bro, I’ve been doing a lot of research about our Mexica ancestors and tribes. Are we the snake or rattle snake tribe? We are related to the Hopi people, right? I heard that our original homeland was in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado area, and then we moved south to Mexico. Also, are we the people of the snake? Then why does the Mexican flag have an eagle eating a snake? The Spanish and most Europeans are the people of the eagle, and an eagle eating a snake would mean the Europeans conquering us, the people of the snake, right? It’s complicated. I really want to travel to central Mexico, where my family is from and learn more about our people and ancestors. Well, our ancestral lands are from Utah all the way back to Nicaragua or Costa Rica! All of this land is ours!!
We are related to the Hopi, yes, but we split up with them like 4,000 years ago. So if they call us the snake or rattle snake tribe thats for other reasons, but not necessarily what we called ourselves, everyone has a different name for themselves vs other people. Like nahuatl call one tribe Otomi but they call themselves ñahñu in their language.
I love his channel. You interviewed one of my favorite indigenous language UA-camrs
