Ya que esa reserva esta muy cerca a la frontera de Sonora con Arizona, quisiera saber si alguno de ustedes ha ido allΓ y como son (El trato que tienen hacia las demΓ‘s personas), si han platicado con ellos meramente por curiosidad y que les han contado, y aprovechando la pregunta han conocido a alguien con ascendencia yaqui o de algΓΊn otro pueblo oriundo de su estado y tambiΓ©n preguntarles como son, siguen las costumbres de sus antepasados, etc.?
I was planning on registering for WRIT 111 in the spring (I'm a first year student), but due to having a lot of transferred in credit (APs, dual enrollment in community college), I have enough credit to be a junior and am unable to register for the course. My advisor recommends I take a C gen-ed over the winter session. I'm already registered for 3 other classes for spring, but I want to have a fourth. Should I take an O gen-ed or something else? I'm a CS Major if that helps.
Hi, this is my first post here.
Question: I recently found out, with a DNA test that my father is 44 % Indigenous American (Durango) and the test named our tribe Tepehuanes. We already knew we came from Tepehuanes but my father always thought it was way back and not 44 % because that pretty much means my grandmother was fully Indigenous, which my father always told me she wasn't. Anyway, on to my question. Reading about our tribe, the Tepehuanes, I learned that our real name is Odami (Tepehuanes is what the Aztecs called them). Now, given that the language is called O'otham I could not help to wonder if there is any relation between the Odami and the O'Odham? And what exactly is that relation? I mean, geographically, they are relatively close but we are still talking quite a distance between northern Durango where my father is from and Sonora which is where the Tohono O'Odham live. Is there anyone here from either Tohono O'Odham or Tepehuanes (Odami)? Or anyone else who knows?
Appreciate it, thanks
