From the www.VideoSource.com Global Village Travel Guide DVD's and Mexico stock footage www.LivingLandscapesHD.com Transcript Bordered to the north by the United States, and to the south by Central America, most of Mexico is mountainous. Spanish is the official language of Mexico but many of the Indian cultures still speak their native languages, and even though Mexicans are the product of four centuries of European influence, they have not abandoned their Indian past. In fact, the Mexican people are proud of their rich heritage as they continue to carry on customs dating back hundreds of years. More than 22 distinct Indian cultures survive today from the Huichol in the north to the Maya and Zapotec in the south. Mexico is truly a timeless country as ancient and modern customs and values come together to weave a complex and fascinating tapestry. The beginning of civilization in Mexico is still a mystery and even though there are over 11000 ruins already excavated, new discoveries are constantly changing our information about the past. Nobody really knows what remains hidden in the jungle, or what new discovery may unlock secrets that have eluded archaeologists and historians for generations. It's a giant puzzle that lacks all the necessary pieces to complete the picture of ancient culture and tradition. It's a certainty, though that we have much to learn from the ancient civilizations of mexico...... it is already understood that their grasp of sophisticated mathematics ...

UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2010 URL: www.unesco.org Description: Traditional Mexican cuisine is a comprehensive cultural model comprising farming, ritual practices, age-old skills, culinary techniques and ancestral community customs and manners. It is made possible by collective participation in the entire traditional food chain: from planting and harvesting to cooking and eating. The basis of the system is founded on corn, beans and chili; unique farming methods such as milpas (rotating swidden fields of corn and other crops) and chinampas (man-made farming islets in lake areas); cooking processes such as nixtamalization (lime-hulling maize, which increases its nutritional value); and singular utensils including grinding stones and stone mortars. Native ingredients such as varieties of tomatoes, squashes, avocados, cocoa and vanilla augment the basic staples. Mexican cuisine is elaborate and symbol-laden, with everyday tortillas and tamales, both made of corn, forming an integral part of Day of the Dead offerings. Collectives of female cooks and other practitioners devoted to raising crops and traditional cuisine are found in the State of Michoacán and across Mexico. Their knowledge and techniques express community identity, reinforce social bonds, and build stronger local, regional and national identities. Those efforts in Michoacán also underline the importance of traditional cuisine as a means of sustainable ...

Gaining a Better Understanding of Mexicans / Educational Video. Department of Justice. Office of Justice Programs. Bureau of Justice Assistance. Producer: Chicago Police Department. Creative Commons license: Public Domain The first major wave of Mexican migration to Chicago began in the mid to late 1910s, spurred on by the economic, social, and political displacements of the Mexican Revolutionary years and the rise in industrial and agricultural employment in the United States. Arriving through both direct and indirect routes, Mexicans worked as unskilled and semiskilled laborers in agriculture and heavy industry, including the Rock Island, Santa Fe, and Burlington railways; Inland Steel; US Steel; Beetsugar Company; and the Armour and Swift packinghouses. The predominantly male Mexican workforce, and the solos, migrated into Chicago from agricultural fields throughout the Midwest and from towns and villages in Texas and the Central Mexican states of Guanajuato, Michoacán, and Jalisco. Those who came were more likely from the middle class than from among the poorest peasants. Like many of the African American workers of the Great Migration, some Mexicans were hired to break steel and packinghouse strikes in the late 1910s and early 1920s, thus placing them in conflict with European workers. Initially, enganchistas, labor recruiters, worked in Northern Mexico and parts of the US Southwest to recruit Mexican laborers. Migration accelerated in the 1920s as word spread of ...

www.twitter.com Eating fast food in Mexico is not the same as popping into McDonalds and ordering a burger. Although there are lots of McDonalds restaurants there are so many better places to eat. Just like the little gem I showed you in the video. Here is the basic ingredients: 1. Meat - hamburger or hot dog 2. Processed cheese 3. Potato shavings, fried 3. Carrots, shredded 4. Ketchup 5. Mustard 6. Cream 7. Hot peppers So delicious. Now I'm not even sure if this is Mexican food or from Venezuela but I know that it is so good! Music: Kevin McLeod

Feasts - Mexico 1 of 3 - BBC Culture Documentary , recorded 17.09.2011 Series in which food writer and presenter Stefan Gates immerses himself in some of the most extraordinary feasts and festivals on earth. By joining ordinary people in these strange and wonderful distillations of their culture and beliefs, he hopes to gain a revelatory insight into how the world thinks and feels. Stefan goes on a wild emotional and spiritual rollercoaster ride, starting with a teenage girl's bizarre coming-of-age ceremony and ending with the Day of the Dead, a cacophonous cross-cultural festival of the senses during which Mexicans truly believe that their loved ones come back from the dead for three days every year to spend the day with them. In Oaxaca, he is dressed up as a dead woman and made to dance like a lunatic at the head of a procession as it makes its way through town. He is turned into an emotional wreck at the moment the dead return, bursting into tears as Dias de los Muertos makes him experience grief and loss for the first time. But then in the next breath, the family Stefan is living with teach him to celebrate and laugh at death. They turn his views on their head, allowing him to embrace and conquer his fear of death through an extraordinary sensual onslaught of food, flowers, songs and smells. The sight of the graveyards overflowing with flowers and mescal-drinking revellers is a truly life-changing experience. .
