should learn about ...what would they need to learn about that part of their heritage...and why?
(The reason that I ask this...is that is me! I am mostly Jewish,Scots- Irish,Welsh, and some other things...but, I never really learned too much about that side of my heritage...save for the fact that my grandmother whom I had never gotten the chance to meet(she died) had performed the National Dance Of Mexico(we still have the dress),and also started a Spanish/English group (one of the first) at U.C.Berkeley, many, many years ago(I don't think it's there anymore though!)
(We also had old serape's around the house.and a lot of nice sombrero's! )Also, I have people in my family that I am proud of...and need to learn more about(My mom does geneology,so I know a smidge) but, what else can I do, to learn more about being Hispanic?
What is considered "important to learn about? What do you teach the young people?
Thanks so much!

I think the more you learn about your heritage, regardless of what countries your ancestors are from, the better. I find it fascinating to know what was going on in my family 100-150 years ago.

First, there are a couple of matters you have got to realise: -Most typical Americans will attempt to persuade you that they're side Native American. So a lot of them think that their high-quality-high-quality grandmother used to be a Cherokee princess and this by some means makes them Native. It does now not. -To be a member of a federally identified tribe, you ought to be no less than a million/four Native blood. (That's unique for Cherokee Nations even though, I pay attention.) -Being Native is extra than simply wearing a card. It's being side of a Native group. It's figuring out your loved ones and figuring out your methods. So, again in your query, what might I for my part don't forget any individual who claims to be a million/eight? White. Sure there might be exceptions, however total, such a lot who declare this don't have any evidence. Most who're a million/eight recognise not anything of being a Native American and have been raised white. They consider that being a million/eight by some means makes them some thing, however sincerely, all they're is a descendant of a Native American, now not a Native American themself.

I'm mixed with a bunch of stuff too. The best way to learn about your heritage is through talking to your relatives! My great-grandparents aren't even of the same ethnicity, so I don't claim to be anything other than a human being. But I do know a lot about my great grand parents, because other people in my family wanted me to know about the people that they loved. I don't think you have to learn more about being Hispanic, I think that you should talk to the people in your family that you are proud of or if they are decease then you should talk to those who knew them best. That is the best way to learn of who you're people are even if you are as mixed as we.
