Indios to Vecinos: Identity and Classification in Paso del Norte

Eric Murillo, University of Texas at El Paso

Abstract

Identity for Native Americans in the US-Mexico borderlands is still a challenge in many ways. Native Americans in the US-Mexico borderlands often struggle to be seen as such, and many are subjected to a fragmented identity. This research explores how Spanish colonial classification continues to affect Native Americans from the borderlands.
