Book excerpt: The Aztecs: The Ritual of Tattooring The Aztecs are one of the many wonders of history that continue to enthrall scientists and history buffs alike. A mysterious people that made their home in the Mesoamerican region during the 14th, 15th, and 16th Centuries, the Aztecs culture was built heavily on rituals, structures, and codes. Within these rituals dominating their lives day in and day out was the practice of tattooing. The Aztecs took tattooing to a new level. Similar to those tribes of Ancient Briton, the Aztecs were proud of their body art and created intricate, dazzling designs that still appear in modern tattoo culture to this day. But unlike the Ancient Britons, who tattooed for many reasons - including battle pride, worshipping, and recreational activities - the Aztecs' tattoos had one sole purpose: ritual. Aztec tattoos have continued to play a large role in the tattoo culture of modern-day Mexico, as well as fanatics worldwide. Today they are used to celebrate the ancient culture and follow in their footsteps by using the animals or deities that the tattoo bearer feels closest to. Some use the style to represent children's names or represent a word that holds meaning in their life. Regardless of meaning, these tattoos still top the scale on detail and complexity, even against modern-day designs.

Download or read book A Yaqui Life written by Rosalio Moisäs and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1991-12-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The reminiscences of a Yaqui Indian born in 1896 in northwestern Mexico whose story begins during the Yaqui revolutionary period, continues through the last uprising in 1926, and ends with [his] recollections of his life on a Texas farm from 1952 to 1969. The introduction by Professor Kelley adds scholarly analysis to the poignant autobiographical narrative."?Booklist. "A powerful chronicle. . . . It deserves an important place in the annals of American Indian oral history and literature."?Bernard L. Fontana, New Mexico Historical Review. "A valuable document . . . about the effects of the Diaz Indian policy in Sonora on the human beings who were its object. [It] tells the story of the social limbo created by the shattering of families and corruption of personal relations under the relentless pressures of the Yaqui deportation program."?Edward H. Spicer, Arizona and the West. "The nightmare world of witchcraft and dream-dependence is one of the major fascinations of this strange and moving book. . . . [Its understatement] acquires a kind of fascinating power, as does the laconic stoicism of the Yaqui himself."?Southern California Quarterly. Jane Holden Kelley, a professor of archaeology at the University of Cal-gary, is the author of Yaqui Women: Contemporary Life Histories (1978), also a Bison Book. Her father, William Curry Holden, a trained historian and anthropologist, met the Yaqui narrator of this chronicle, Rosalio Moisäs, in 1934. They remained close friends until Moisäs's death in 1969.

Book Synopsis Aztec and Maya Myths by : Karl Taube
Download or read book Aztec and Maya Myths written by Karl Taube and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myths of the Aztec and Maya derive from a shared Mesoamerican cultural tradition. This is very much a living tradition, and many of the motifs and gods mentioned in early sources are still evoked in the lore of contemporary Mexico and Guatemala. Professor Taube discusses the different sources for Aztec and Maya myths. The Aztec empire began less than 200 years before the Spanish conquest, and our knowledge of their mythology derives primarily from native colonial documents and manuscripts commissioned by the Spanish. The Maya mythology is far older, and our knowledge of it comes mainly from native manuscripts of the Classic period, over 600 years before the Spanish conquest. Drawing on these sources as well as nineteenth- and twentieth-century excavations and research, including the interpretation of the codices and the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphic writing, the author discusses, among other things, the Popol Vuh myths of the Maya, the flood myth of Northern Yucatan, and the Aztec creation myths.
