Sons of Guadalupe

Main Point 1: La Virgen de Guadalupe represents the Mexican culture and some of the American culture as well.

Don’t Eat the Bear: A Spanish adventurer named Gaspar De Portola in 1769 passed through a region what is now Santa Barbara. In the near by sand dunes he found a lake where he crossed passed with an “oso flaco”, a skinny bear. They were dying of hunger and ate the skinny bear not knowing it was poisoned.

On December 7, 1941, the Empire of Japan attacked the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, bringing the United States into World War II (Prange et al., 1981: p.174). On February 19, 1942, United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 authorizing the Secretary of War and Military Commanders to prescribe areas of land as excludable military zones (Roosevelt, 1942). Effectively, this order sanctioned the identification, deportation, and internment of innocent Japanese Americans in War Relocation Camps across the western half of the United States. During the spring and summer of 1942, it is estimated that almost 120,000 Japanese Americans were relocated from their homes along the West Coast and in Hawaii and

The inspiration for the victory of New Mexico was profit. Political control encouraged these closures by giving and keeping up the profit for Euro-American folks and their Mexican partners. Socialization was important to strengthen a structure and showed values and legitimized these qualities. Amid the Spanish time frame, a sheltered zone shaped the purported Rio Abajo, the center Rio Grande Valley, with its middle in Albuquerque. New Mexico's northern limit was Santa Fe and Belén, the southern Rio Arriba was the upper part of the waterway. At the point when the Spanish pilgrims arrived, Rio Abajo was intensely settled by Pueblo individuals uprooted by and large by Hispano cultivate settlements. After some time expansive homes, haciendas, pressed

As a placebo for a changing guard, La Virgen de Guadalupe proved highly successful. The iconic image of La Virgen de Guadalupe remains static in both form and symbolism until the mid twentieth century, when a new movement among Mexican-Americans emerges in California, dubbed the Chicano movement. As visual propaganda becomes a large part of the movement, a significant body of art with common themes and styles, known as Chicano art, follows. This shift in subject matter among Mexican-American artists toward a specific social and political agenda began earlier, as evidenced by the work of Rivera, Orozco, and Posada, but, it isn’t until the mid 1960’s that national or religious iconographic images are recycled to support a larger political or social agenda.

Ten weeks after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs Executive Order 9066, authorizing the removal of any or all people from military areas “as deemed necessary or desirable.” The military in turn defined the entire West Coast, home to the majority of Americans of Japanese ancestry or citizenship, as a military area. By June, more than 110,000 Japanese Americans were relocated to remote internment camps built by the U.S. military in scattered locations around the country. For the next two and a half years, many of these Japanese Americans endured extremely difficult living conditions and poor treatment by their military guards.

On December 7, 1941 the Japanese empire attacked Pearl Harbor. 2,400 Americans were killed and 1,200 injured. President Franklin D. Roosevelt immediately took action. In February 19, 1942 he signed the executive order 9066. This executive order gave military army’s immense power. They were to take everyone with Japanese ancestry to internment camps were they would be held captive. All of these military areas would exclude all the people of Japanese ancestry, just because they were considered “dangerous”. The Japanese people did not know if they would be imprisoned or deported. They would be imprisoned or deported even if they only had 1/16th of Japanese blood.

The surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy shook the United States at its core, and challenged how this nation would treat to its own citizens who shared ancestry with the enemy forces. The U.S. government believed that the Japanese Americans could be loyal to their ancestral homeland and can assist the Japanese forces on potential attacks on American soil. Japanese Americans were considered “potential enemies”, and having them at critical areas like the west coast was considered too great of a threat on national security. In order to contain that threat, the U.S. government planned to relocate Japanese Americans inland, to remote and abandoned areas in Arizona, Utah, and other inland states. In the height of WW2 and Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt issued the Executive Order No. 9006. This policy led to the relocation and incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese Americans, including Yoshiko Uchida and her family, under the pretense of “military necessity”. (Lee, 211) Families were forced to abandon their home and uprooted from their normal American lives. During the whole ordeal, Japanese Americans were denied their constitutional rights and became prisoners for being Japanese. The incarceration of Japanese Americans was under the pretense of “military necessity”. The real rationalization

What does it mean to be truly Mexican? Perhaps it is to know the origins of history, race, biological conditions, and culture, or perhaps it means to be free from artificial facades and subconscious complexes so that it becomes possible to find true authenticity, as philosopher Samuel Ramos has explained. The identity of Mexico and the discovery of what lo mexicano means is something that has been pondered about by many. It is difficult to answer this question with a definite explanation because everyday, we evolve as humans and have different experiences that shape our character. We live in the present, but are always thinking and worrying about the future. By studying the past and learning about history, but particularly the story about about Mexico, we gain further insight about individuals, society, identity, the importance of history in present life, and even learn about the psychological effect the past has had on individuals.

civilization that was once rich with skill and vision derived from the decor elements untamed by age coexists in his art form. Amongst the tribes the Keres, Tompiros, Tewas, Tiwas, Towas, Piros, Zuni, as well as Utes, Navajos, and Apaches all have similar villages. The word pueblos came from villages in Spanish. Ultimately the rulers of Santa Fe received a warning before the revolt broke out.

In 1941, Japanese fleet at port of Hawaii launched massive raid to American fleets. Americans suffered the biggest defeat ever, which cause Americans of anger and fear give vent to all of Japanese-American. American insults and blamed Japanese and violation rate increased during that time in Japanese community. The FBI track down and arrest about 15000 Japanese-American using “ military necessary” as excuse. President Roosevelt signed an executive order authorizing the army can force "relevant persons" move away from the military designation “ military area” and relocated a new place that have no one lived there before. While the executive order did not expressly use the word “ Japanese-American”, but they use “ relevant people” in order to avoid race issue. In fact most of people who were being arrest were Japanese-American, some of them even don't speak Japanese. During 1942, 100,000 Japanese were transported huge concentration camp including young and old.

The history of Juarez starts in the sixteen-hundreds, specifically in sixteen-fifty-nine when it was known as Paso Del Norte. Spanish explorers sought out a route though the southern part of the Rocky Mountains. At the time there were Native Americans that had already been located in that area which made it perfect for explores to establish a community. The community had grown in importance with the Santa Fe and Chihuahua’s commerce passing through it. The
