- Holxetat: A Story About Resistance
According to early Dominican accounts in 1824 the majority of accessible natives were converted. The maximum population registered was over 600 making it the Dominican mission with the highest number of registrations. The neighboring tribes to the east, the Kiliwa Y Cucapá were never taken to the mission, and were always hostile towards it. The Cucapá though they did not live far from the mission of Santa Catarina, they denied to live near the mission do to the winter cold. Many natives located in higher altitudes had the custom of heading down to lower lands to spend the winter with family members in Cucapá territory with the objective of escaping the cold and rain. This is one of the reported causes for friction between the natives and missioners who would not allow natives to head down to spend the winter with the Cucapá. In 1840 a native subversion would destroy the mission of Santa Catarina.According to an account given by José Domingo Castro nearly a century ago, grandfather of Teresa Castro, during the month of September when the majority of people had left Santa Catarina to collect Piñon to the North on the Western skirts of the Juarez mountain range, the Kiliwa arrived and burnt the mission. Another source affirms that 16 neophytes died in the attack. Other natives of Santa Catarina said that the subversion that destroyed the mission was "general, including, pai-pai, kiliwa, huerteños, riaño, and they all went without a chief and faught like animals. Everyone hated the missioners."
The initial intention of my research was to learn more about how natives in Baja California resisted Christianization. And more importantly I wanted to see if I could gain insight to their perspective of resistance. In light of the historical context of resistance in Santa Catarina, the story of Hoxetat in this video best gives perspective and voice to the native resistance and struggle against colonization. The story of Holxetat that is told here by doña Teresa Castro was told to her by her father and is also known by other natives of Santa Catarina. She says the following about Holxetat: "They say that animal does not look like an animal, it looks like a human." It lived proximate to Santa Catarina's mission and was killed by a native before 1911.This oral story by Teresa Castro allows us to gain very important insight to the resistance and struggle endured by the natives, as was accounted by the grandfather of Teresa Castro nearly a century before when he explains about the burning of the mission. In their eyes the oppressor was more like an animal than a human being. Devoid of reason, and without a mechanism of self-sufficiency, it's devouring self -indulging appetite was seen as a danger to the physical and cultural survival of the natives. I want the viewer to view this story in light of the historical context I just provided in order to gain the internal insight to their struggle for resistance.
Que hermosa señora. ❤
A beautiful life story. Your way of life is similar to us Hopi. Askwali.
I'm happy to learn about your way of life.
I wish she was my grandma.. but in native ways she is my grandma. Love and blessings grandma.
Me encantó la esencia del documental, me sentí transportada a las raíces de los cachanías. Señora Castro encantadora y digna representante de su etnia, la modernidad nos ha dado comodidades pero hemos perdido la comunión con la tierra...Me siento muy orgullosa de mis raíces..
What a wonderful woman! She knows more about living-real living than most of us, and I bet she’s happier too. Reminds me of my mother.Tough women. God Bless Sra. Castro.
Thank you to Teresa Castro for telling your story, and thank you Henry for bringing Teresa's heart and artistry to a wider audience.
¡Qué excelente documental! ¡Muchas gracias por este trabajo! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for this video. I am very interested in the PaiPai people and their way of life. They are truly blessed by God. They still have life and live from day to day. I would some day like to spend some time with them, sit down with them and learn from them. They still hold to tradition, to family, and to God.
Go to Ejido Héroes de la Independencia, in the road in between Ensenada and San Felipe in Baja California. Her community is close by.

I had the honor and satisfaction of meeting her
Solo una sugerencia para la Sra. Teresa, ojala pudiera alguien promocionarle sus productos que fabrica para que tengan mas ingresos, hace un hermoso trabajo del cual deberia de estar orgullososo y conservar la tradicion.
Si por algun motivo cualquiera de nosotros estuvieramos en su situacion geografica y cultural creo que no aguantariamos ni sabriamos como sobrevivir. Estas Personas necesitan ayuda !!!
Muy bonito final de este vídeo con un canto tan hermoso felicidades ojalá y se cante en Pai Pai

God bless her...
Me recuerda a mi abuela
Muy bonitas las tradiciones de nuestros pueblos originarios lástima que se va terminando poco a poco
Esta gente deben ser atendidos como atiende amlo a Evo Morales ojalá que el gobierno se se fije en los raises de nuestro México y que los dialectos de cada estado de nuestro México no se desaparezcan
Todavía hay más pueblos indigenas además de los Pai Pai en BC?
Si, los hay mi amigo Chris.

Bonito documental de la seño ra Teresa bendiciones para esta persona humilde de corazón bendiciones🙏
como puedo alludar a esta senora??
Manda tu email a ojodevenadocinema@gmail.com y nos pondremos en contacto, gracias..
Intervenir es aniquilarlos.
@@FidelCastroPadilla hola Fidel si entiendo tu preocupación, pero ninguna cultura en el mundo es estática, todas están a todo momento pasando por procesos de transformación y eso no siempre implica una necesaria aniquilación.
@@hlespera Una gran verdad lo que mencionas pero el proceso de la naturaleza es lento y perezoso, ellos están dentro de ese proceso apacible. Intervenir en el proceso para provocar un cambio abrupto esta siendo fatal para muchas comunidades étnicas. Las sociedades actuales están gobernadas por un prejuicio de dominio o aniquilación. Las leyes de la naturaleza están gobernadas en lo general por la convivencia y sobrevivencia. Un agradezco por el documental. Un saludo
