The Spanish Inquisition caused much hysteria, too, from 1478 to 1834, then there was the leftover misplaced good intentions and over-zealous righteousness. $.02
YOU SHOULD REBRAND THIS THIS YEAR FOR THIS YEAR 100 YEARS OF THE FIRST DESIGNATED WILDERNESS OF 1924 NEW MEXICO'S GILA WILDERNESS DAVID ADAM GRENIS CURRENTLY IN BOULDER COLORADO
As the boy said tomorrow you'll come for salt I heard some of these things growing up from my own family. I remember hearing the one don't look at the baby too much. And a lady who married into the family my mom would not let me accept gifts from hers that don't look her in the face too long Because she practiced witchcraft. I havent heard that word in a long time ABRUJAI think I spelled it wrong but now that I'm over I realize why they had all these things it was to try and keep people on the straight and narrows sometimes. But it was so crazy but you know some of the things that I heard to try and keep kids away from watering holes so they went drowned and other things that was their way of trying to get us to not be stupid sometimes. And the rest of it was it was just a fear factor. To try and convert everybody. Because I think it's important

In these times of accountability it’s time that these Navajos start crediting the Hopi and the Pueblo instead of making up and believing in false “stories and teachings” that some little insect taught them how to weave.

You never know when something that seems reasonably safe could possibly bring bad luck or even a curse to you and your family . I'd rather be safe than sorry.. .
But you did cross the border and came from what is today Mexico. There was no cutting off from anyone. Simply because the border of 1848 under the Treaty of GH was out in the middle of nowhere and was still with no settlements or activity except for roaming unconquered Indians as Apache, Kiowa, Comanche. Today's SW was founded by Spains Spanish Colonial settlements which were pretty distant from today's Mexico. The SW barely had a population for 250 years, comprised of unconquered natives who had little contact with the Spaniard . There were few Spaniards from Canary Islands and Nachotiches bordering Louisiana Territory in Texas during the Spanish Colonial Period. Spain populated the SW being very distant and farthest northern outposts in New Spain populated with Spanish colonists to guard against French and Russian intrusion, Spain never to conquer 99% of the Indians making it difficult for Spain to colonize with just a few settlers and fewer settlements from California to Texas so the SW was basically a barren uninhabitable wilderness desert of thousands of Sq miles when Mexico by independence claimed it in 1821 beginning a new era in today's SW lasting only 25 years. Chihuahuans and Sonarans began migration after the Mexican War of 1846 to 1848. Migration was about 1880 sparked with USA westward movement which was over two centuries after Spaniards had colonized the far north of New Spain. And by 1880 the SW was now the US Territorial Period or had come under US statehood. In 1880s Mexicans established Mexican border towns by migrations which were never a part of the SW Spanish Colonial Period colonists who had been in northern New Mexico since 1598, Texas since early 1700 and California 1770. This Period ended in 1821 . Then came the Mexican Period. Mexico became a nation. The SW was governed by Mexico for only 25 years 1821-1846 and is not historically Mexico , a Johnny come late to the SW. 1700s had been disputed Pacific Coast lands among Spain, Russia, Great Britain. Later Louisiana changed hands from Spain to France. Spain Treaty'd Florida to USA. Texas had been French Territory before Spain. All border changes. So 1848 was just another border change between Mexico to USA , both new nations in America. Under Mexico's first Apatzingan constitution 1814, California, New Mexico/Arizona, Texas were not even Mexico. So whoever came up with "the border crossed us" is just plain nonesense. Borders have changed across the world for centuries by land disputes, wars, conquest, treaties. What became Mexico were really Spains lands for 300 years with numerous border line changes during the New Spain era. If the border cut Mexicans off from each other, this was in the 20th century with the Mexican Revolution 1910, Mexicans willfully escaped Mexico , followed by more migrations , Mexican looking for jobs. And many willingly crossed the border illegally as the United States and Mexico are nations of Immigration Laws. Many Mexicans lawfully immigrated to the USA under Immigration Law and abided by immigration due process, consequently were not detained, never a shadow population and were entitled to citizenship rights under USA law. There was no Mexican colonial body in 1700s in Texas, California, New Mexico/Arizona. Mexico did not exist 1700s. Spain/Spaniards claimed all of New Spain, approx for three centuries. In the SW , Spanish Colonial Period 1598-1821, was little mixing of races as the Spaniard and Indian as there was little contact , Indians were unconquered , attacked or killed enemy tribes as well as Spanish colonizers. Spanish villages were very far from the enemy Apache, Navajo, Ute, Comanche, Yuma, Chumash, Caddo and other tribes. SW never merged to a mestizo culture. Indians are not native to America, Indians came from Asia and other possible continents as humans have migrated by land and sea for at least two thousand years BC. Other people's came later to America from Europe, Africa, Asia, Middle East and elsewhere. Cuba, parts of USA, Central America, Mexico, are different parts of New Spain; most of South America too is part of Spanish America and all are not culturally one people, except for the language. Chicanos are Mexican American immigrants from 1960s brown power political movement, who attempted to claim the SW as stolen lands, historcally unsubstantiated... People from what is today's Mexico had no peoples ancestrally in the USA and are not rooted in the SW as the indigenous northern tribes are Navaho, Mohave, Chumash, Pueblo, Comanche, Piaut, Kumeyaay, Shoshone, Shasta, Kiowa, Cheyenne, Ute etc; and Comanche, Kiowa, Apache and other tribes bitterly battled Sonora and Sinaloa after Mexican independence. So its the same with the many Indian tribes from Alaska to Argentina are not one, and culturally different. Ms Montoyas story is basically about telling the plight of willful illegal migration, yet these would never have faced the hardships had they entered foreign soil legally. She is not educated in either SW or New Spain history. Sorry...
