Nahua Newsletter News

Welcome to the 11th issue of the Nahua Newsletter. The first thing you may notice is the new look of the NN. I am happy to report that the Indiana University Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies under its director, Russell Salmon, has agreed to contribute financial and editorial support for future issues. Previous issues depended on hit-or-miss funding that sometimes had to be pieced together from several different sources. The Center has not yet located a permanent source of support but with a little luck we hope that the new arrangement can be continued. Another important advantage of affiliation is that the Center has access to equipment for reproducing the NN as well as assistance for preparing each issue for mailing. We all owe Russell Salmon a vote of thanks for lending his support to the NN and for making it possible to continue distributing it to interested scholars free of charge.

In this issue there is news of upcoming events, new publications, a report on a situation in Mexico that affects Nahuas of Guerrero, and an update on readers' activities. I would like very much to report on your activities regarding Nahua language, history and culture so please continue to mail news, announcements, requests for cooperation, changes of address, and suggestions to the following address:

Items of Interest

1. From Mexico, Eustaquio Celestino Solís writes:

Por medio de ésta le hago llegar información para difundirla entre los miembros de The Nahua Newsletter (de la cual formo parte). Creo que el asunto es de suma importancia para todos nosotros, ya que el problema atenta contra los bienes culturales, partrimoniales y científicos, no sólo de los grupos indígenas nahuas directamente perjudicados, sino también de la nación mexicana como país pluriétnico y de la ciencia en general.

Se trata, pues, de la construcción de una Planta Hidroeléctrica denominada San Juan Tetelcingo, en el estado de Guerrero, en la cuenca del Alto Balsas, a cargo de la Comisión Federal de Electricidad.

Al respecto algunas de la instituciones de gobierno han respondido asegurando que la construcción de la obra depende del préstamo financiero del Banco Mundial o del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo, en tanto que los trabajos de "estudio previos" siguen avanzando en el sitio indicado.

Por nuestra parte, como afectados, en la región del Alto Balsas (ante la amenaza de afectación y de desintegración como parte de una etnia mayor hablante de Nahuatl) el 21 de octubre de los corrientes nombramos a nuestros representantes ante tal situación, bajo el nombre de "Consejo indígena nahua del Alto Balsas," integrado por autoridades y representantes de las 22 comunidades directamente afectadas.

El Consejo y pueblo de afectados (del cual también formo parte) en reuniones pasadas acordamos rechazar enérgicamente la construcción de esa obra, porque en lugar de beneficiarnos a los más de 30,000 habitantes de la región, nos afectaría (como hemos visto en varios de los casos) en cientos de hectáreas de tierras de cultivo, iglesias y centros ceremoniales (montes, cuevas, panteones), recursos naturales y agostaderos, vetas de tierra para la alfarería, plantas medicinales, huertas, etc.; además, una zona arqueológica de primera magnitud, como es la de Teopantecuanitlan de origen Olmeca, en el municipio de Copalillo, Gro., la cual ha venido a revolucionar la teoría arqueológica por los grandes descubrimientos.

Al respecto algunas de las dependencias de gobierno supuestamente creadas para la defensa de los grupos indígenas y del patrimonio cultural muestran interés ajeno al nuestro. El Instituto Nacional Indigenista ante tal problema prefiere callar; mientras que el Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia de la Unidad Regional Guerrero, opina sobre el asunto diciendo que, si con la construcción de la presa El Caracol (en el Balsas Medio), se inundaron noventa sitios arqueológicos, que importa que se pierda una más; además, la cultura Olmeca en el estado de Guerrero no es el ombligo de la cultura madre, como opinan algunos investigadores.

Por otro lado, nuestro Consejo en su entrevista con el gobernador del estado de Guerrero Francisco Ruiz Massieu (29-XI-90) sobre el asunto hidroeléctrico, no fue reconocido al levantarse el acta de la sesión. Y para el seguimiento informativo sobre la obra, asentó dos de sus dependencias más allegadas a él, el presidente municipal y un "vecino" de Copalillo (que bien podía ser nuestro Secretario General del Consejo, según el secretario particular del gobernador), pero sin hacerlo explícito en el documento.

En fin, el Consejo analizará el documento del gobernador y planeará las acciones a tomar en días posteriores para seguirse manteniendo en lucha, defendiendo su patrimonio familiar, arqueológico, histórico y ecológico; y mantener su postura de NO A LA CONSTRUCCION DE LA PLANTA HIDROELECTRICA DE SAN JUAN TETELCINGO. Además, a la autoridades del gobierno se les hizo ver otras vías posibles de obtener electricidad, como QUEMAR LA BASURA O APROVECHAR LA ENERGIA SOLAR o construir obras en sitios realmente despoblados, sin tener que afectar a tanta gente, sobretodo cuando las indemnizaciones son manejadas arbitrariamente y las compañías constructoras manejen materiales de construcción en las viviendas de muy baja calidad y a la velocidad de los contratos. Además, sabemos que al no tomar en cuenta el parecer de los pueblos perjudicados, se están violando los derechos humanos con los proyectos nacionales, según los acuerdos de la asamblea celebrada en Ginebra, Suiza.

Sin más por el momento, reciba un cordial saludo mío y del "Consejo Nahuatl."

The SUP-INFOR Publishers are pleased to inform you about the creation of the Mesoamerica collection (supervised by M. Thouvenot, CNRS) which includes four types of publication: Texts (paleographies of texts in Amerindian languages with a trilingual introduction); Studies (in French, Spanish or English); Data bases (with the programs allowing them to be consulted); and Programs. Texts and studies are consulted through the text editor named TEMOA.

Programs run on PC\XT, PC\AT, PS\2 or any true compatible in which the operating system is a DOS 2.1 or greater and in which RAM equals at least 512K. For the image display, it is necessary to have a CGA, VGA or Hercules graphic card and 640K of RAM with 570K free.

Publication of the text part (around 1,000 pages) and of all the images, from a doctoral thesis (1987). (1.3 Mb of text + 3.8 Mb of images), ISBN 2-908782-02-2: FF. 780.

Data Base:

XOLOTL: Publication of the data base which allowed the writing of the text devoted to the Xolotl Codex. The access to the data base is possible through a program which allows one to consult, to search, and to paginate the results. Online help (in French) is constantly available. 1990 (8.26 Mb + 3.8 Mb of images), ISBN 2-908782-03-0: FF. 1500.

Programs:

TEMOA is a trilingual (French, Spanish, and English) text editor which includes advanced character string searching functions of which some are specific to the Nahuatl language. This editor only works with crypted texts. It allows one to search from one to three strings of characters in a given context (word, sentence, or paragraph) and according to certain specifications relating to the spelling (original spelling, supression of the difference between small and capital letters, or altered spelling adapted to the various ways of writing Nahuatl words) and to the nature of the words (filters for toponyms, anthroponyms, absolute substantives, adjectives, and possessives).

You can visualize documents including images (boards, figures, charts, glyphs, or vignettes) as soon as you are equipped with a graphics card. 1990 (140K), ISBN 2-908782-01-4: FF. 800.

POHUA allows one to collect a data base which permits the analysis of the glyphs or the persons of any Aztec codex. Online help (in French) is constantly available due to the lack of printed directions for program use. The program is structured around a main menu presenting six options: write, consult, search, lay out, others, and help. 1990 (994K), ISBN 2 908782-00-6: FF. 2,000.

To order please indicate the desired floppy-disc format: 5-1/4 in. 360K, 5-1/4 in. 1.2 Mb, 3-1/2 in. 720K, 3-1/2 in. 1.44 Mb.

Harper and Row has recently published my Religions of Mesoamerica: Cosmovision and Ceremonial Centers which is designed for introductory courses in Latin American Studies, History, Chicano Studies, Anthropology, and especially Religious Studies. A new work, To Change Place: Aztec Ceremonial Landscapes will be published by the University Press of Colorado in late February. Besides articles and photographs on new descoveries at Templo Mayor and Tlatelolco, there are articles by many members of the Mesoamerican Archive working group including A. Aveni, E. Boone, J. Broda, D. Carrasco, H.B. Nicholson, A. Lopez Austin, E. Moctezuma, and D. Heyden. Currently I am doing research for a book on Aztec ceremonial violence in comparative perspective.

The first volume of the New World Figurine Project, edited by Terry Stocker, has now been published by Research Press. To quote from the brochure, "From its inception in 1987, the project has been designed to compile and publish comprehensive, illustrated data on New World figurines. An ultimate objective is to trace interactions that cannot be established with other artifacts." Volumes Two and Three are projected to be completed early in 1991. Volume One can be purchased for $23 ($25 outside the U.S.) by writing to New World Figurine Project, P.O. Box 7113, University Station, Provo, UT 84602.
