Gauchos are the cowboys of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. In the past, gauchos were very poor. The people who owned the ranches did not want beef. There were no refrigerators to keep the meat, so they could not sell it. As a result, the Gauchos ate meat three times a day. Today gauchos still work in South America but their lives are much better than they were in the past. And Hawaii has traditional cowboys called paniolos. Paniolo means Spanish in the Hawaiian language. In 1838, the king of Hawaii invited some vaqueros from Mexico to come to Hawaii. Vaquero means cowboy in Spanish. The king invited the vaqueros because some of them gave him cattle as a gift, but he did not know how to take care of them. Now there are only a few big ranches

Many people that were indigenous to New Spain and latter, Mexico had settled in Texas when it was a northern State of Mexico. Many contributed in an effort to tame the wild paradise and bring civilization to the region beyond what the Spanish missionaries had begun a century before. In 1821, Mexico gained independence from Spain, and began to actively recruit people to populate the land north of the Rio Grande with far more urgency that did Spain. The residents were both of Spanish decent as well as Euro-American. Those delegated the authority to organize these settlements were called Empresarios. The Empressarios applied for huge tracts of land and then had the authority to sell to those that wished to settle it and swear an allegiance to Mexico---- agreeing to become citizens as well as become Catholics. Mexicans that moved north to Texas were known as Tejanos ( Tejanas for the females) .In 1836, when Texas acquired independence from Mexico, Tejanos remained concentrated in settlements founded during the eighteenth century, namely Nacogdoches, San Antonio, Goliad, and Laredo. Other communities with a primarily Mexican descent population in 1836 included Victoria, founded by Martín De León in 1824, and the villages of San Elizario, Ysleta, and Socorro in far west Texas.

A very evident example of a mixed culture in Brazil that have resulted from slavery in the colony is that of the quilombolas. Quilombolas are descendants of escaped slaves over the last few centuries in northern Brazil who founded their own settlements and began a separate, secluded life of their own in villages in the Amazon River basin, called quilombos. Secluding themselves from the rest of northern Brazil over multiple centuries allowed these people to produce a very interesting outcome in terms of culture, such as the formation of a religion like Terecô. National Geographic states, “Terecô is one of the quilombos’ many hybrid religions, interweaving African and Christian beliefs with native practices.” Looking at this example and thinking back to the early history of northern Brazil,
Texas has a rich and long history and much of it has passed through the state over the years to become a part of its folklore. This Texas folklore is part of many cultures within the state and has even filtered outside the state. The first cultural influence on Texas was from the Paleo-American Indians. When these Indians arrived they were in a bit of a culture shock when they met the Spanish in the 16th century. In the following centuries, more people began to arrive in Texas and they brought new ways of talking, believing and doing things. The Spanish and the Mexican set the patterns south of Nueces and along the Rio Grande. Anglos brought their ways of life from the British Isles to the South and Eastern part of Texas. African Americans who came to work on the plantations on the Brazos and Trinity bottoms brought songs, stories and beliefs that came with them from Africa. Germans came directly from the Old World to the Hill Country, Cajuns came from France and eventually through Louisiana and settled in Southeast Texas. The Dutch, Danes, Polish, Czechs, Norwegians who also came here brought with them their ways of life and they all became bound together to become part of Texas. By the year 2000, Texas was made up of 54.5% Anglos, 31% Hispanic, 11.4% African Americans and another 3.1% of other ethnicities.
The people that lived in the region before the Spanish came to America were called the Purepechas. As the article, “Purepecha – Tarascan Indians” states that the Purepechas ruled the region of southern Mexico in the Michoacán, Jalisco state regions of Mexico and they were never conquered by the Aztecs, the P’urpechas also had their own religion music, and dances (Purepecha). One of those dances was the precursor to the old man and it held a deeply religious theme for the people of Purpechas. According to the Purepechas website on the article “La Danze de los viejetos” in Mexico the origin of the dance was of the religious ceremony to their old gods where one had the mask of a young person, while three other dancers had old men masks, there had to be four dancers because the number four was important to their culture (La Danza). The dance was dedicated to the universe and life as the number four was the most important aspect of the dance since each dancer represented, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the colors, red, blue, black and yellow, yellow representing corn the most important vegetable in Mexico (La Danza).The dance consisted of the four dancers dancing in a circle while one of the dancers, In particular the one with the young mask dancing ecstatically while the others surround the dancer.

One of the most significant and creative events which took place during the years of emerging Chicanismo was the renaming of the Southwestern United States as Aztlan, to signify the name of the spiritual homeland of the Chicano people. After the Aztecs journeyed south from Aztl‡n to eventually found the city of Tenochtitlan and develop a powerful empire, culture and civilization, the legacy of Aztlan was kept alive in their narratives, manuscripts and oral traditions. Mexican culture has always informed Chicano art, but it is the American experience that truly gave birth to this distinct genre. The Aztecs migrated from a mythical homeland called Aztlán, and many Chicanos see the Southwestern U.S. as Aztlán, leading to the popular slogan, "We didn't cross the border - the border crossed us!"
