Su economía se basaba en la agricultura y principalmente en el cultivo del maíz. Además de este grano, su alimentación se complementaba con chile y jitomate. artesania Dentro de su artesanía destaca la cerámica, que fue su aportación al mundo mesoamericano. Fabricaban principalmente tres tipos de figuras: barro café con rasgos y adornos al pastillaje; las de barro crema pulido y las hechas con decoración polícroma y pulidas.
De acuerdo al estudio de las figurillas se descubrió que la gente de este pueblo usaba bragueros y cintas, probablemente sandalias y se adornaban con collares, brazaletes y orejeras, así como con tocados. utencilios Elaboraban utensilios de mimbre, caña y otros materiales. También tallaban y pulían piedras duras como el sílice y la obsidiana. alimentacion Su alimentación consistía en: tunas, mezquites, bellotas, raíces y semillas. A falta de agua, tomaban el jugo del agave o el licor de mezquite. También gustaban de las patatas dulces o "yuca" y el frijol rojo o "cimatl"; frutos como los capules, maguacatas, anacuas, comas, la flor de pita y muchas raíces. religion En cuanto a su religión, debido a su vida nómada, era difícil la construcción de templos o de ídolos, por lo que sólo realizaban exclamaciones al cielo y adoraban al sol, dedicándole la primera pieza cazada durante la jornada. Algunos rendían culto a los cuerpos celestes, a deidades animales, a determinados árboles y hierbas. politica Entre los chichimecas no existía la organización política; los guerreros se encargaban de la dirección de las operaciones militares. Los demás miembros del grupo no guardaban una relación de dependencia ni subordinación. Las reglas para la organización social y política estaban dictadas en función al éxito en la guerra. El mando del jefe en turno no era limitado, sino que se ejercía respetando el valor de los demás miembros del grupo. En tiempos de paz aparecía un debilitamiento de los vínculos sociales,

    Throughout the book Curanderismo: Mexican American Folk Healing Trorrer and Chavira make mention of el Niño Fidencio in countless areas of the book. It is mentioned that one of the most important spiritualist movement is based on “the life teaching, and the spirit of a famous young folk healer (now dead) from northern Mexico el Niño Fidencio” (1997:35). Even today el Niño is an important figure in many aspects of the belief system and practice associated with the Curanderismo folk healing. History plays a major role in culture when it comes to establishing religion and medical practices, which in the case of the Mexican Curanderos many times martyrs or perhaps people with supernatural or mythical abilities lay the foundation for the belief system and its practice. Consequently, this allows such people (those with supernatural abilities) to become saints thus becoming an important part of the Catholic faith, which has become syncratic with the traditional folk healing system. What is interesting about el Niño and his legacy, is that he not only serves as an influential figure in the history of Curanderismo but also plays a large role in the spiritual practices and the contemporary culture associated with the Mexican folk healing practices. In a modern society where immigration has promoted syncretism and a separation between those who still live in or near Mexico and those who have moved to other regions causing them to lose many of their traditional beliefs and practices el Niño serves as an icon from the folk saint movement that helps draw a culture and the people back together.…

    The military controlled Bolivia so that the people “can’t unite and form a common front” to easily manipulate individuals in believing that the people should be content about what they have because there are people who suffers even more. The reason behind the repressiveness of capitalism is that it requires individualism so that the government can exploit the people easily. Capitalism is hegemonic but has dominance over the people because of its militarized government. Chungara talks about various events where the militant rummaged their houses and disrupts the peace in Siglo XX. She talks about the time when their union leaders were “ambushed taken prisoner” because the government found out about a union assembly that is about to take place (Chungara and Viezzer, 80). Chungara also talks about the San Juan massacre that occurred on June 27, 1967 “because the government found out that there was going to be a plenary meeting of all the secretaries-general” and “the government didn’t want it to take place” (Chungara and Viezzer, 116). The San Juan massacre proves that the government does not value the human capital as well because they mercilessly kill innocent people just to prevent them from organizing and takes away their right to a better life. Although the people only want better living conditions, the government did not care enough to allow them to have a freedom to speak up about their needs. The MNR is also too greedy to spend their wealth on the people so they leave them in scarcity. Domitila is against capitalism because of its manipulative and violent…

    From a Campesino earning money via crop surplus to an employee wielding their rights to improved working conditions, never before had such groups “operated within an unusually favorable political context.” The Mexican people determined the placement of the Cárdenas reforms by pressing their grievances to a regime that garnered its ability from popular support. Indeed, the government gained from the relationship it had with its constituents; however, the citizens also expanded their power. This conversion to symbiotic control stamps the 1930s as a social revolution, with Mexico changing its “political institutions, social structure, leadership, and government activities and policies.” However, because of its inciting “leftward policy swing,” the social revolution could not continue advancing. Too many groups, with more sway than peasants and everyday workers, began pressuring the executive. The Monterrey Group, foreign…
