The First Mestizo-Mexicans ~ Gonzalo Guerrero's Story
 |
||
Gonzalo Guerrero was the man who changed the Mayan's world. He was born in the 1470's in Palos, Andalusia Spain. Trained as a military combatant he fought to drive the last of the Moors out of the Iberian Peninsula by 1492 ending eight centuries of Islamic occupation. Then he took up his next position of soldier/sailor on Columbuss first ocean crossing expedition aboard the small open carvel vessel, Niña.This soldier of fortunes story did not reappear in the annals of history again until 1511. Gonzalo set sail in good weather from the Gulf of Darien on the Colombian coast of South America north bound with looted treasure and slaves.What happened next is one of the worst nightmare stories that could happen to anyone.Forty year old Gonzalo was plummeted into the sea aboard a makeshift raft with no food or water, one of eighteen men and two women to survive the wrath of a hurricane that dismasted his ship and sunk it.

Loyalty does, most Mexicans don't know the native tongue of their ancestors, the mixture has created a new culture. No different than America who speaks English, it doesnt mean America is British, America is mixed but adapted a lot of cultures from different countries. No one is denying Mexican heritage or history to what they are, Mexico adapted some things from the colonizers but many customs were retained as well.

Kable I don't think anyone is forcing anybody to embrace European heritage in Mexico, the fact is most people in the world are heavily mixed due to invasions, I am Syrian Jewish but also have a lot of greek and even Italian and European blood yet DNA tests show me as being related to people from the middle east in general. Race does not make a nation, culture, common language, and
