Book Description
Black and White edition of La Gran Chichimeca-The Greater Southwest from the Tropic of Cancer to about the 38th parallel of latitude was for thousands of years regularly visited by the Aztec and other Meso-american cultures. A trading network of mutual benefit existed with the ancient Native American cultures of the southwest, known as the Anasazi, Hohokam and Mogollon Cultures. It apparently existed until about just before the invasion of the New World. Discover what what so called barbarians transported and traded on foot, throughout over 170,000,00 Sq. miles of territory, before the arrival of the horse an the so called civilized Europeans. Explore the SW part of New Mexico and discover who was found living in the area once occupied by the ancient cultures. Learn about their homeland, their ways of becoming amazing human physical specimens, their ways of survival, nourishment, sacred places and methods of survival and the reasons they resorted to warfare, having become most probably the greatest guerrilla type warrior ever known to man. Almost at every turn, we judged them (Native Americans) as leaning toward laziness, failing nor caring to understand their and other Native Americans cultures, clans, roles and ways of life. This is is an eye opener on what we Europeans Spanish, Mexican and American believed were subhumans, inferior and whom we know, both as the First Americans and/or Native Americans. As you go along in this reading book you learn about a hard land and its resources, where almost any cavalry soldier or other persons would soon die for need of water and nourishment, when all around there was and is bounty. Discover whom passed this way and visit and learn about some of the still existing pueblos on the edge of Apacheria or a no man's land which we took without consideration for those that lived here and called this home, never asking but taking, with our self-classification, as being superior and for the sake of the so called "Manifest Destiny." We killed the wildlife like the buffalo (however some completely), altered (sometimes for the worse) the very lands themselves, and even men for the sport of it, never considering that all is important to the cycle of life. In truth, who has often altered/ruined the land and cared not for the earth and those which share it with us, no matter how insignificant they may seem to us. The earthworm has a role as does the prairie dog. As John Muir once said, when someone complained why the Lord had bothered making what some saw as the useless things of creation- the things which in essence made us uncomfortable, or even hurt us such as stickers, etc. I do not recall his words exactly, but in essence he proclaimed that perhaps the earth was made first for them and perhaps we were but an afterthought. The Native "American's lived in balance with the universe and it was all well. Can I truly say that now!

Book Description
A beautiful color edition of the history and description of ancient interaction and trade which occurred from Meso-America to the Greater Southwest of America. The southwest portion of New Mexico is especially vividly described with archaeological important sites and characters, from the ancient Native American cultures, such as the Anasazi and Mogollon Cultures, then the Apacheans including Mangas Coloradas, Cochise, Victorio, to Geronimo. It is followed with the visits of the Spanish explorers, colonists, western and national characters not limited to the first President to personally visit the American West. Passing through here or visiting our area were Kit Carson, Stephen Kearney, the Mormon Battalion, to the infamous Billy the Kid and Pancho Villa and the wonderful diverse people of the West, who make this beautiful geographical area with its geological wonders and surprisingly varied natural life, so much the reason for its being called the "Land of Enchantment".

Book Description
A comparative history of the relocation and removal of indigenous societies in the Greater American Southwest during the mid-nineteenth century Lost Worlds of 1863: Relocation and Removal of American Indians in the Central Rockies and the Greater Southwest offers a unique comparative narrative approach to the diaspora experiences of the Apaches, O’odham and Yaqui in Arizona and Sonora, the Navajo and Yavapai in Arizona, the Shoshone of Utah, the Utes of Colorado, the Northern Paiutes of Nevada and California, and other indigenous communities in the region. Focusing on the events of the year 1863, W. Dirk Raat provides an in-depth examination of the mid-nineteenth century genocide and devastation of the American Indian. Addressing the loss of both the identity and the sacred landscape of indigenous peoples, the author compares various kinds of relocation between different indigenous groups ranging from the removal and assimilation policies of the United States government regarding the Navajo and Paiute people, to the outright massacre and extermination of the Bear River Shoshone. The book is organized around detailed individual case studies that include extensive histories of the pre-contact, Spanish, and Mexican worlds that created the context for the pivotal events of 1863. This important volume: Narrates the history of Indian communities such as the Yavapai, Apache, O'odham, and Navajo both before and after 1863 Addresses how the American Indian has been able to survive genocide, and in some cases thrive in the present day Discusses topics including Indian slavery and Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, the Yaqui deportation, Apache prisoners of war, and Great Basin tribal politics Explores Indian ceremonial rites and belief systems to illustrate the relationship between sacred landscapes and personal identity Features sub-chapters on topics such as the Hopi-Navajo land controversy and Native American boarding schools Includes numerous maps and illustrations, contextualizing the content for readers Lost Worlds of 1863: Relocation and Removal of American Indians in the Central Rockies and the Greater Southwest is essential reading for academics, students, and general readers with interest in Western history, Native American history, and the history of Indian-White relations in the United States and Mexico.

Book Description
In The Forgotten Diaspora Travis Jeffres explores how Native Mexicans involved in the conquest of the Greater Southwest pursued hidden agendas, deploying a covert agency that enabled them to reconstruct Indigenous communities and retain key components of their identities even as they were technically allied with and subordinate to Spaniards. Resisting, modifying, and even flatly ignoring Spanish directives, Indigenous Mexicans in diaspora co-created the U.S.-Mexico borderlands and laid enduring claims to the region. Jeffres contends that tens of thousands—perhaps hundreds of thousands—of central Mexican Natives were indispensable to Spanish colonial expansion in the Greater Southwest in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. These vital allies populated frontier settlements, assisted in converting local Indians to Christianity, and provided essential labor in the mining industry that drove frontier expansion and catapulted Spain to global hegemony. However, Nahuatl records reveal that Indigenous migrants were no mere auxiliaries to European colonial causes; they also subverted imperial aims and pursued their own agendas, wresting lands, privileges, and even rights to self-rule from the Spanish Crown. Via Nahuatl-language “hidden transcripts” of Native allies’ motivations and agendas, The Forgotten Diaspora reimagines this critical yet neglected component of the hemispheric colonial-era scattering of the Americas’ Indigenous peoples.
