Members and supporters of the Mexica Movement building the posters that would
help educate our people as to the background behind all of this racism. |
|
|
|
People volunteered to help carry our signs. |
Fundraising was conducted to help with the costs of fighting the Minutemen and the SOS. Our
people were great with their donations. |
|
|
|
Mothers of members and supporters came out to march with our people. This was not a march
of "undocumented" as has been portrayed in the media. Mexica Movement was there and the majority of our membership has been
born in the "U.S.". |
Pride in taking part in the march was displayed everywhere. |
One of the more negative parts of the march was when American flags were passed out to make
sure the marchers were looked on as part of "America". We should be looked upon as the Indigenous people of
this continent returning to their land. |
|
|
|
Our people arrived as much as four hours early to participate. |
From this one corner we photographed our people coming in stream after stream of people.
|
We greeted our people with our signs to help them understand the racists behind the attacks
on our people. |
|
|
|
People marching to he march. |
Coming to the knowledge of our history and true identity. |
Four hours before the march was scheduled and there were already close to 20,000
people. |
|
|
|
Discussions about our posters went on most of the day. |
Here are two of the designers and makers of many of the posters. |
Here a man stops to see the posters and to read on the history of the crimes of the Europeans
on our continent. |
|
|
|
Here we prepare for the march to begin. We put up our signs to remind our people that this
is our continent. |
Here we bring in the flag of the Mexica Movement, the flag that represents the Indigenous
people of Anahuac ("North America"). |
Our people were anxious to begin the march |
|
|
|
This was one of the many great signs that our people made. |
People got our message and used it. |
Finally, we all began to see that the march was in progress. Punctually at 10 A.M.

This great home made sign: TIERRA INDIGENA AMARLA, TRABAJARLA, LUCHARLA. |
It was a great feeling to see our people really alive and united. We need to use this motivation,
this heart to bring our continent alive with knowledge and actions that will liberate our people. |
