Mexican American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1453 words)
Mexican Americans account for 64% of the Hispanic or Latino population of the United States.
Mexican Americans do make up a lot of the lower rungs of the social ladder, however, their diaspora is evident in other areas of the socioeconomic spheres.
The proximity of the two countries, a continuous influx of new arrivals, concentration in predominantly Mexican barrios and colonias and Spanish-language media enable Mexican immigrants to maintain ties with relatives in Mexico and the Spanish language to a degree not possible for other immigrant groups with their respective countries of origin and native tongues.
Native Americans in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (5527 words)
Native Americans in the United States (also known as Indians, American Indians, Amerindians, Amerinds, or Indigenous or Aboriginal peoples or Americans) are the indigenous peoples within the territory that is now encompassed by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska, and their descendants in modern times.
The prototypical "American Indian princess" was Pocahontas, and, in fact, descent from her is a frequent claim.
In the American Southwest, especially New Mexico, a syncretism between the Catholicism brought by Spanish missionaries and the native religion is common; the religious drums, chants, and dances of the Pueblo people are regularly part of Masses at Santa Fe's Saint Francis Cathedral.
