Educated Americans: What do you think about the "Yaqui Indigenous ethnic group" living in Mexico and the USA ?
Answer:
The Yaquis deserve Dual Citizenship by birth.
The Yaqui belong in Mexico, not in America.
THEY CAN STAY THE HELL OUT OF ALABAMA. THIS IS CREEK TERRITORY
Educated Americans is a contradiction
I don't understand the comments above. Their story is interesting. I especially love the fact that the Spaniards didn't conquer them... Those jerks should have kept their small pox to themselves!!
I think it's fine. They were there way before the Spanish, Mexicans and before those territories were part of Mexico and United States.
The Yaqui, have been living in peace for hundreds of years they haven't heart anyone.
I don't specifically know about them. I do know we have some Tribes that span the border, and they have special immigration status by treaty. Tribes that just have 'relationships' like my people, far enough back, came from Germany, are too removed for any particular status HERE. I don't have any particular rights in Germany, either.
The Yaqui Indians are a nation between two countries and two languages.
They resisted the Spanish and Anglo conquests as many other ingenious groups in North America.
Yes, people used to wander all over the world...There WERE no countries, no borders, no civilization, no laws were , what do you think that has to do with the year 2007?
By the way, "Wikipedia" is NOT an irrefutable source..and educated people that want their point of view to be treated as such, will NOT use it as a "source"!
Native Americans Are called Indians After Christopher Columbus Got Lost on it's way to India and end up In America.
The Nahuatl languages are related to the other Uto-Aztecan languages spoken by peoples such as the Hopi, Comanche, Paiute and Ute, Pima, Shoshone, Tarahumara, Yaqui, Tepehuán, Huichol and other peoples of western North America. They all belong to the Uto-Aztecan linguistic family which is one of the largest and best studied language families of the Americas consisting of at least 61 individual languages, and spoken from the United States to El Salvador. This is a grouping on the same order as Indo-European.
It is also a widely held belief that the Aztec migrated back and forth to North & South America before settling in Mexico.
I consider myself a somewhat educated Mexican-American, of Aztec decendants, that is still learning the real histroy of North America.
Why did you pose this question to "Educated Americans"? and not "Educated Americans and Mexicans"?
There is a border between Mexico and America. It may not be in the best interest of that tribe but it's there and not moving anytime soon.
You don't do them justice by using terms like indigenous or ethnic. Indigenous would indicate they orginated there which isn't true and ethnic might help you get food stamps but holds little else.
Maybe native?
