Mexico North America CULTURE The people of Mexico are generally a warm and gracious population. Most Mexicans today are descendants from the original Indians that inhabited the area, or a combination of Indian and Spanish lines from the Europeans that settled in the area after the 16th century. In some areas of southern Mexico the pure Indian blood is still very dominant, and these cultures have changed little over the centuries. The influence of Old Spain is prevalent in many parts of today's Mexico. In addition to Spanish race being a dominant character in the looks and heritage of the people, the Spanish language is the national language of Mexico. Christianity was brought to the local people in the 16th century by the Spanish, and dominates the religious signature of the country today. Even the basic design of most of Mexico's towns, with a central plaza and adjacent church, came from the design of many of the older cities in Spain. The Mexican people are proud of their country and it's history, which has been quite tumultuous, to say the least. However they are a hard working people of strong character, and hold a high value for children, elders and the family unit. This may seem inconsistent with the "macho" image sometimes portrayed of Mexican men, but the macho image is set on a foundation of high respect for family, friends and other human beings.

It holds immense rewards for the visitor who comes with an open mind. Chiapas, the indigenous heart of the country, reveals a very modern side to ancient traditions. Oaxaca remains a treasure for colonial architecture, vibrant markets and non-stop fiestas. And Mexico City, the world's largest urban center, long infamous for pollution and crime, shows itself to be a vibrant city with hidden pockets of calm, exquisite art, fine restaurants and world-class entertainment. General Information on Mexico Geography The variety of Mexico's geography can be generally categorized according to region: the north is arid, the south hot and tropical and the central region at higher elevations, sprinkled with mountains, some as high as 18,000 feet. We will spend most of our time in Mexico's central valley and the Chiapas highlands. Temperatures are generally warm during the day and drop quickly at night.

September / October 2005 Home Weekenders Events Archives Paper garlands stream from the Templo de San Felipe Neri to celebrate the annual Day of the Revolution holiday. This city in southern Mexico is a feast for the palate, the eye, and the soul. By Kathleen Wheaton A merican-born chef Susana Trilling, who presides over the Seasons of My Heart Cooking School at her ranch outside the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, is a motherly person with a cheerful "Oh, well" attitude. It's probably essential to anyone who spends her days initiating a dozen or so Yankees at a pop into the mysteries of one of the world's great cuisines. "I guess this was one of those times when you didn't read the recipe all the way through," she said, after I had dumped all of the ingredients for a smoked chile-papaya salsa into the blender at the same time. "Oh, well. The flavor will still be good." It was. And the entire five-course lunch, beginning with the sopa de guías de calabaza (summer squash vine and flower soup) and concluding with pay de queso Oaxaca, the pretty colonial capital of the southern Mexican state of the same name, has long been a magnet for connoisseurs of Mexican folk art. It's a mother lode of metalwork, intricate hand-loomed rugs, glossy black pottery, and the colorful, fanciful wood carvings called

Volunteer In Mexico Volunteer Abroad Volunteer In The USA How To Apply ... Request Information Mexico's Culture Blending Traditions Near and Far Ancient Mexico and Central America were home to some of the earliest and most advanced civilizations in the western hemisphere. This region is known historically as Mesoamerica, a term that refers to the geographic area and cultural traditions of the pre-Columbian civilizations of Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Maya civilization flourished in southern Mexico and Central America between AD 250 and 900, a time known as the Classic period. The Maya built large religious centers that included ball courts, homes, and temples, and developed a method of hieroglyphic notation. Chronology among the Maya was determined by an elaborate calendar system. Although highly complex, this calendar was the most accurate known to humans until the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century. The Root of Mexican Culture The Toltecs rose to power in the 10th century AD and are the first people in Mesoamerica to leave a relatively complete history. Their capital of Tula, whose ruins are located near the town of Tula de Allende 75 km (47 mi) north of Mexico City, extended its political influence over much of central Mexico. Other groups paid them tribute. The Nahuatl-speaking Toltecs established colonies along their northern frontier, protecting the region against hostile groups and greatly expanding the amount of land given over to agriculture. In the 12th century droughts in the north central region weakened the Toltec hold on the region. Desperate and starving people from the north surged southward, eventually overwhelming the Toltecs and forcing them to abandon Tula. Toltec survivors migrated south to the Valley of Mexico, where they joined with other peoples.

The Mission of Beyond Borders is to foster the creation of contemporary art that challenges viewers' perceptions of border issues. Commissions are selected solely on the basis of artistic merit and its ability to connect local themes with universal issues. Beyond Borders is not a political activist group, nor does it take a formal position on border issues. Its only purpose is to use art as a catalyst in creating more humane and practical solutions to border issues and drawing international attention to the unique culture created between the United States and Mexico. The United States debut of "Border Dynamics" took place at the University of Arizona in Tucson on September 2003 where it remained on display for three months.
