Native American history of El Salvador (formally known as Cuzcatlan)

This video is from the documentary "El Salvador". It shows part of the history on the struggle and oppression of the Native American in El Salvador. My people may have lost their culture but not their spirit.

@militardark, actualmente no somos "Mestizos" estupido poque nuestra ADN dice que somos menos de 24% Europeo. Esto es MUY OBVIO considerando el HECHO que la MAYORIA DE NOSOTROS no parecen como los Mejicanos quienes SON mestizos con el ADN de 43% Europeo y 67% Indigena... y mucho menos en los Chicanos de 60% Europeo y 40% Inidgena. Y de los raices "negras" hay MUY POCO GENTE (inclyendo yo mismo) quienes tienen sagre negra. Pero la MAYORIA de los salvadoren~os NO TIENE sangre negra.

@ali3nsci3ntist 15% of Salvadorans are not Christian so..that means we are progressing :D. Native American and proud!!!

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

@foundintranslation3, Catholics ARE CHRISTIAN! ALSO, I DO OWN a King James Bible... you are NOT fooling me. I'm not big on Spirituality either (despite my religion). Science is more important than religion. And as Benjamin Franklin said "Lighthouses are more useful than Churches".

@militardark Si tenemos raices negras africanas, porque para los 1900 ya todos los Afro decendientes que fueron traidos al paiz se mesclaron con los indigenas, mestizos y espanoles...en total fueron mas de 10,000 africanos que fueron traidos al pais por los espanoles en los 1600...que porsierto los bendian en sonosonate...en oriente se encuentra las mayoria del gen, o las mesclas..usulutan, san miguel,,, san salvador tambien tuvieron muchos y eran la mayoria en la ciudad ase 250 anos atras

@NeCacaluXuxultic I am not Eurocentric. I am simply trying to understand population genetics in El Salvador on this issue, and I have good amount of knowledge about it, but I am no expert. But I appreciate the study you supplied, and it kinda helped me out. It shows that up to 2/3 of Mestizos in El Salvador are half European, half Amerindian. There is no doubt that there are many Mestizos that are predominantly Amerindian as well. By that report, African ancestry is not very common.

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

@IslenoGutierrez, my problem is your Eurocentric identity and mindset. ALl I see in you is a guy that WANTS to be white. I accept myself for what I am because I actually did a background check on my family members. I am EXACTLY what a mestizo should look like. Most Salvadorans don't look anything like me and it is clear that Salvadorans are filled with self hatred because they are secretly racist against their own blood which is why they ridicule the indigenous! We both know this is true!

[IslenoGutierrez]

@NeCacaluXuxultic Theories are just that, unless you provide some credible proof, then it's only speculation. Also, why are you cursing me? Are you not able to have a civilized debate without anger and vulgarity? Do you have no class? Also, what's wrong with being White? You act like it's a bad thing to be White. It certainly is not. I am a White Hispanic. All of my ancestors were from Spain. Canary Islands to be exact.

[IslenoGutierrez]

@NeCacaluXuxultic Great, you are one of the Salvadorians that have some African ancestry, but the majority of Salvadorians do not. Just like Americans, some have Black ancestry, but most do not.

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

@IslenoGutierrez, it is not a fucking theory moron. It is a fact. I can show you the DNA results. The fact you wanna be "half" is because you are in complete denial of your ancestry and wants to be white and we both know that's a fact.
