I am looking into my ancestry and culture because my family has severely whitewashed our lives, not keeping anything of my culture but the white parts. ANYWAYS.
I have been doing a little geneology and looking into my ancestry, especially my Native American side. I have found the group of indigenous peoples I come from but I read that the Chichimecas culture and language has basically died out and is no longer in practice and that there isn't much known about them. I am wondering if someone knows anything about the Chichimecas or knows resources I can look into?
This book will tell you everything you need to know about the Contact-era Chichimeca. As for the Chichimeca language, it does still live on, sorta. "Chichimeca" is really just an umbrella term for several cultures directly north of sedentary mesoamerica, the Pame culture withstanding. This culture and its language continues to exist today.
