Mr. Alcari.o Vigil was one· of the speaker~ during Chican~ Week at Fort Lewis

College in Durango. His topic was:

C~icano Culture .

In t alking with different

people I have found that there is a misunderstanding among many about the te~m,
11

Chicano".

Many people associate this word with militancy.

I would like tt'l

make an attempt to clearify the. meaning ~f this word as it is being used today.
For example, the dictionary dei'inition of the term, 11 anglo--Saxon'1 is as follow~
A member of the Germanic people conquering F;l,glish in the 5th Century A.D. and

forming the ruling elass until the Norman conquest.

In the United States, the

tem, Anglo-Saxon infers that an Anglo-Saxon is a member of the EnP-lish-speaking

.....

-3connnunity but it includes people from many different countries.

So today, the

term, ''Chicano", is merely used to identify persons as being of spanish-speakin~

ancestry.

This includes people from many countries.

Mexicanos, ~span'oles, Hispanos and La.tions.

Other terms used are:

I feel that many tilTles an explanation

that can clear up misunderstandings helps in such a way that there is better
understanding among differest cultures.

,....

El Senor Alcario Vigil fue una de las personas que hablo en el colegio de Fort
Lewis en Durango.

Su presentacion fue sobre la cultUl'a del Chicano.

Yo he

hablado con mucha gente que no entiende que queremos decir cuanc'lo dicemos, 11Chicano'',
esta palabra nomas quere decir que s0mos de habla espanola y hov dia se usa nomas
para indicar que somoa "Raza".

Todos debemos de tener orgullo de perteneser a

la raza qua nacimoa y toda la gente de habla Bspa~ola se debe unir y hacer lo
que uno puede para que otras, culturas entiendan la nuestra y acepten nnestros
modos com.o parte ne nuestra cultura.

No emporta si nos dicen, Hispanos,

Mexicano or que otras palabras usen para innicar que somos de habla Espanola.
Ahora quero dar un ejempelo:
11 Anglos 11 ,

A toda la gente de habla Ingles les decemos,

este termino comenso en I n~la-tierra y no toda la gsnte que habla

ingles vino de.Ingla-tierra pero esta cultura de habla ingles saben qua estan
hablando de la gente que habla ingles.

-4Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned,
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while

And afterwards remember, do not ~rieve;
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I ha•,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
Christina Rossetti
