INDIGENOUS IDENTITY
Many Mexicans and other Central American natives; in general, affirm they are not allowed to speak as Nican Tlaca ( Indigenous ) persons, for apprehensiveness of social rejection. In many religious, government, and academic organizations, native mortals are referred to as past rigid, paltry, sub - human, savages, etc. European colonial perceptions spread through so - called education and media have associated the Indigenous Individuals of the Americas in that way.
The bourgeois of indigenous humans in the Americas is well over 180 million, but like the census of Africans, the numbers are obscure in the 1 - billion body politic mark. It ' s time for humanity to learn our bona fide histories, which includes over 4, 000 years of civilization.
The populace of indigenous persons is projected to be over 50 % of the North American general public of humans over the next 100 years. It has become apparent that media and government officials are trained to take foray and plug the phony - grasp concept of their colonial developed nations, like the U. S. when pure history is mentioned. Indeed, since the creation of the United Nations, Indigenous Mortals have been categorically denied cogent leadership roles for more than short - term roles, by organized assassinations, defamation, etc., if the leadership represents progressive changes for / of the people. They seem to not be allowed to speak of the biological warfare that killed 23 million of indigenous people ( 95 % of the U. S. area population in the 16th century ) in general public arenas without persecution, still today. Indigenous peoples, and the African persons related, are practically to speak of the European destruction of the native cities, civilizations, rape of countless women, and Neo - colonial effects on this part of humanity. Censorship is a popular word for the conservative and liberal person with racial pathology and / or common sense deficiency syndrome.
Many people get advised to stop playing the victim, or to forget about the past. One cannot play a victim, if one is one, and lacks full knowledge of the cause, and skills for the creation of a new way of being. The foreign cultures that oppress others, and control learning resources, do not express interest, or supply true building informational interest materials. It is common that accurate heritage information for adults and children not be available. Cultural assimilation by the people, to adapt to new places, or information, can enforce or enhance ignorance. The false labeling of indigenous people as Hispanic and / or Latino enhances the false perception that they are consciously part of the colonial role.
This is an instigating purpose to decline the true identities of the Indigenous people, and claim that they no longer exist, beyond small pockets called reservations in the U. S., rural areas separated from the main society, or in myths. The Mexica ( Meh - shee - kah ) Movement has been expressing their perception of measured accounts against native peoples south of the U. S.
The truth is what is desired of the childrens potential. They deserve no less than the truth about everything. Just as African American and Asian Medias in many countries have tended to display programming that benefits the culture of other populations, media known as Latin or Hispanic has tended to promote Spanish & German cultures, counter to the native. Until recently, no media source has responded to the true representation needs of the people.
Value is beginning to be seen in the people learning their heritage, and many that have learned are taking positions to be sure awareness and empowerment are encouraged. Little to none of the childrens programming, romance day programming, etc., for either cultures have been for the people, but more for frivolity, and the money tends to come from companies providing interest in encouraging the cycle of corrupt thought.
The conception that European descendants have told their own people and many indigenous people in their own lands, are that non - white people are illegal, foreigners, thieves, uncivilized, immoral ones, and even the oppressors. This concept has taken form in the design of school textbooks on history, political structures, and economic opportunities. Although some specific areas of the world have better designed textbooks for the children, most textbooks; especially those in Africa, the Americas, and the Pacific spread an almost worship mode on foreign concepts of world history.
Restoration of an original and more advanced group of indigenous people is completely possible, with the collective intentions / actions of the people. Progressive mass education of the people is usually the best way to initialize change. The people of the world must learn the greatness of themselves from the examination of persons of kinship, the wrongs of current advanced societies, and strategies to attain a better civilization together. From that point, it should be left up to the people to move on the possibilities they feel most comfortable moving towards. The Hispanic / Latino agenda temporarily controls the lives, land, wealth, education, and media of the native peoples. The agenda is different from the Anglo - American agenda only because it uses Spanish instead of English. Neither English nor Spanish are from the Americas.
