Your Questions About Mexican Art

[ 0 ] May 14, 2012 |

Lisa asks…

Did you know that that American Indians raided the Mexican tribes for a hundred years?

Finally the Mexicans got tired of it and began the bounty hunting of these Indians and thus started the gruesome art of scalping.
The way I read it Walt, scalping was against Indian spirituality. The Mexicans scalped for 25 pesos a scalp
Sun you better read your Indian history. There were very distinct tribes and indian nations who murdered each other and soaked American soil with blood long before the white man came. Read about Chief Sealttle and how he condemned the Indian to inevitable distinction. The Mexican who brutalized the No. Cal. Indianss. The Hurons who slaughtered 30,000 Irriqoui in the North Great lLakes.

Artie answers:

This is a sorry kind of question. Peoples have lived here for thousands of years, perhaps tens of thousands. Indians did not separate into "American" or "Mexican" until WE separated them. Even then, many tribes lived on or around the border and did not recognize American frontiers. So which tribes exactly do you mean when you make this foolish statement?

What is this kind of art called?

I've seen one with what looks like a mexican lady holding a bread of basket over her head. She surrounded by bread in the background. But if you look closely it looks like a big skull. This art is two in one. Does anyone know who the artist is? Or what they call this kind of art. If you know, please help and let me know. Thanks.
