My name's Hiram. I was born in Chihuahua, and raised in Chicago.
Both are home, and both start with "Chi."
I apologize if this is inappropriate, but have you ever met any Chichimeca? I'm a Mesoamérica history dork and La Gran Chichimeca is an area of interest for me and I believe the Chihuahua desert was in that territory or at least neighboring it.
I imagine they would be hard to find in Chicago, so once again I apologize if I'm being ignorant.
Not to my knowledge.
Also: My understanding is that La Gran Chichimeca was further south from Chihuahua, around the Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, and Guanajuato region. Basically between Chihuahua and Mexico City.
You might know better than I would though, if that's something you study/studied.
I got Tarahumara blood in me, but you wouldn't know it from the current state of my cardio lol
Thanks for the clarification, I thought it might be a neighboring territory. While it is my joy to study the regions the only reason I would know more is that I ask questions to eliminate my assumptions.
It is a pleasure to meet a Rarámuri though! From my books I've been told that your ancestral lands were part of a vast trade network. This is best evidenced in macaw burials and feather art found in Arizona of all places.
As far as my bloodline, if you have seen one fat celt you've seen them all.
Always a good approach. Commend you for that.
Is that so? It would make sense, given its geography.
You funny for that 🤣🤣
