...My Mexican American Heritage Ethnicity is extremely important to my family. I identify most with Mexicans, because I lived with my Grandmother most of my life, and she taught me so much about our ethnicity. I learned about the culture, the food, and the language. I looked up to her for so much, and learned everything I could about our heritage. There were also things I did not learn from her, and lately I have been learning so much about our people. Immigration to the United States started sometime during the 1800s. In 1840, the boundaries of Texas and Mexico were so different from what they are now. During the war from 1846 until 1848, Mexicans fought for the land they claimed as their own. The land from Texas to California was the place they called home and fought so hard to keep this area. After the defeat of Mexico, almost 529, 000 square miles were given to the United States and 75,000 Mexicans became American citizens because of the loss (Schroeder, 2007). Discrimination was also a problem for Mexicans. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed allowing Mexicans the same rights as Anglo American citizens, but never obtained those rights. Their right to vote was taken by giving them a poll tax to pay and literacy tests to show their ability to read English before they could vote. The Mexicans who refused to pay the taxes or take the tests were beaten, killed, and threatened. The U.S. courts also began to take their lands because their deeds written in Spanish were...

...will be the beginning of the debate over slavery that led to the civil war. 12. Chapter 11 Page 430 The Indian Removal, 1820-1840- After the election of 1828, one of Andrew Jackson’s goals was to remove the Indians. Jackson wanted the Indians to move westward toward Oklahoma, so he passed the Indian removal act. Most tribes including; Choctaws, Seminoles, and Chickasaws did not argue and agreed to move west. The Cherokees however believed that they had a right to a state government and saw Georgia’s new law as unconstitutional. Therefore the Cherokees had to be forced to move. This began the trail of tears where four-thousand Cherokees died of hunger, cold temperatures, and diseases. After the act took place, more than fifty-thousand Indians had been removed and twenty- five million acres of land were now open. 14. Chapter 14 Page 539 Wagon Trails West- The western wagon trails started out as settlers heading west for new trade opportunities with Mexico. An example of a wagon trail in the west was the Santa Fe Trail. Here travelers sought to go to Oregon and California.

The discovery of gold in California had a great effect on the growth of travelers on the Oregon Trail in 1849. There were times where Indians attacked the settlers demanding for food. 15.

...Community Assessment and Analysis: Hispanic Obesity in Las Vegas, Nevada Concepts in Community and Public Health Community Assessment and Analysis Part II: Hispanic Obesity in Las Vegas, Nevada In this report, the Hispanic community was assessed using Gordon’s 11 Functional Health Patterns. The Hispanic people were found to have a high rate of obesity and other health related problems. From looking the different social, cultural, behavioral, environmental, and economic aspects, obesity, and chronic diseases impact not only individuals and families but society as a whole. Their strengths and weaknesses were put into two clusters and nursing diagnoses were provided for each cluster. Next, they were prioritized by level of importance and a rationale was provided. The Hispanic community in Las Vegas, Nevada has many strong points, as well as many weaknesses regarding their health. Value/Belief Pattern: Hispanics believe that there is a path of life is set in stone for them. These beliefs deter Hispanics from getting preventative care and screened for chronic diseases or cancers. The majority of Hispanics in Las Vegas are Catholic and this accompanies strong beliefs. A chronic disease or cancer is believed to be a punishment from God (Carteret, 2011). Some illness and diseases are believed to be an imbalance of ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ and it is believed that these illnesses can be treated with consuming the opposite (Kemp, 2005).

...The Navajo Navajo’s primary mode of subsistence is pastoralists, who lived an abnormal life compared to today’s culture. They spend much of their time herding and caring for their animals. Their life moves with the four seasons as they travel to each of their Hogan’s in search of grass and water for themselves and the animals to live. They believe they are one with the environment and the earth is their mother. Each family member of the Navajo, from the elders to the kids, all work very hard together to perform the duties necessary for not only their survival also the animal’s survival. There are different aspects of their culture which is affected by pastoralist but I will be discussing three of them, which are kinship, their beliefs and values, and the social organization. 1. Kinship A. Animals B. Environmental Adaptations C. Property 2. Beliefs and Values A. Division of Labor B. Ceremonies and Pollen C. Religion 3. Social organization A. Relationship With Mother Earth B. Bond to family As for the kinship, the Navajos belonged to a matrilineal society, where property, status, etc. are inherited through women. The Navajo people have a kinship system that follows the lineage of women. There is a complementary relationship between the male and female in the Navajo culture and the importance of blood and voice in constructing a person. The Navajo body, of men and women, is viewed as having a female side (the right side)...

...Hispanic Americans for centuries have a significant role of contribution to society in the United States bringing diversity to the customs and cultures of Americans. Hispanic Americans impacted areas such as politics, public service, scientific, cultural foods and entertainment. Most historians have no knowledge or will acknowledged these impacts Hispanic Americans made on United States history therefore has entrenched anti-Hispanic racism in America. Mexican Americans have the largest population title of Hispanic groups here in the United States and for more than four centuries they have been a major part of history. In the past 30 years the population of Hispanic Americans grew dramatically within the United States. Hispanic Americans include 11% of the U.S. population of which 3.6 million reside in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Dioceses 2012). Many may say that there is racism towards Hispanics but truth is Hispanic is actually not a race but an ethnic classification. Hispanics are individuals that have been in the United States for a long time dating back when settlers where taking over the land of native Indians. Hispanic Americans have different features of their heritage there are distinct differences of Hispanic cultures depending from the country of origin. There are unique immigration waves from each part of the countries of origin that Mexican Americans have the most unique pattern of them all.

...Race and Your Community ETH/125 Race and Your Community While living in Austin, TX, I have seen the influences of each and every race as it revolves around my community. I believe the relations in my community and city have been racialized, positively and negatively. However, I do not believe these interactions have directly affected affairs in my direct neighborhood, schools, environment, clubs, and service/volunteer groups which I participate in. Even despite the fact the leader of the community’s outlook of the community and individual race is negative, the relations in my community show positive construction influences on race and the our community. “This marks the third consecutive year for Austin to appear among the three most popular places in the U.S. for Hispanics to live and work”.

...Diversity in Hispanic Americans Ethics 125 October 30, 2011 Kimberly Long Diversity in Hispanic Americans The first group that I researched was Cuban Americans. They rank third in the immigration of Hispanic Americans. An estimated 1.4 million strong today, they immigrated or were refuges from their native Cuba to escape Fidel Castro’s reign. They settled first in Florida and one of the largest manufactures of cigars, even to this day. They primarily speak Spanish, and most when they came here on the first wave of immigration were well educated. They were twice as likely to complete college and most held professional backgrounds. They consider themselves a generous group and full of hospitality and loath conflict, although most belonged to the communist party, here in the united states they prefer not to be a part of politics. They educated their children highly in agriculture and social economics. Unlike a lot of Hispanics, they prefer baseball to soccer. Their domestic units consist of multigenerational groups and are centered primarily on women and are of Catholic faith. They are one of the hardest groups to obtain diplomatic status due to the conflict in their home Cuba. The next group the Puerto Ricans, are of United States Territories. They also speak Spanish, but also very fluent in English. They are a Caribbean people with African, Indian and Spanish descents.
