  • Beschreibung: The Nauha Collection consists of four documents, covering a variety of historical and community-level ethnographic information on Nahua villagers living in Tepoztlán and one unidentified municipality in Huasteca. The most comprehensive document is Alan Sandstroms. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 1970-1990, this book discusses dynamics of culture and ethnic identity among the Nahua. It argues that the Nahua have continued to exhibit linguistic and cultural features that distinguish them from many other ethnic groups of modern Mexico, despite many years of Spanish conquest and a series of government attempts to incorporate them into the dominant Mestizo culture. The remaining three documents provide first hand accounts of village life and aspects of culture in Tepoztlán municipality as observed over three research periods spanning 1926-1956. The first was 1926-1917 when anthropologist Robert Redfield conducted research on this community. The second was 1943-1948 when Oscar Lewis, together with a team of graduate students and associate researchers, lived in Tepoztlán for about a year to restudy the community. The last research period was 1956 when Oscar Lewis revisited the community to supplement his previous study by examining major changes that occurred since the first fieldwork. Together, these four documents provide a comprehensive account of culture and society among contemporary Aztec Indian villagers
