Oaxaca! - Where My Story Began

Thanks for posting this video

I would have gladly purchased all the beautiful green clay pots from that last gentleman in the calle! 😮❤

La Karencita, know I have greatly appreciated your videos this past year; I recently did a podcast of my Dad's ancestry on my KZbin channel(I felt it brought healing to the family indeed, from the line of Sigifredo and Sigi(Norse) to the line of the indigenous Native Americans(from the tip of Alaska to the bottom of Patagonia, healing the Eagle and the Condor); I always remember my Dad's Mum and Grandmum(who were of a fair bit of Native American ancestry, tracing back to Colombia) would smile at me, with my Grandmum(before she passed away) telling me "I am glad I have a beautiful grandson"); I may not be predominantly indigenous(around 15%, including a connection to the indigenous Jomon of Hokkaido, Japan and the Ainu) or even one European group(with my ancestries tracing to Scandinavia, British & Irish, French & German, Greek & Balkan(Spanish/Italian), North African(indigenous Amazingh/Egyptian/ Ethiopian), Iranian & Caucasus(Kurdish), Finnish(connection to Udmurts, with many having red hair lol), North India & Pakistani, and a wee bit of East and West African; even my Native American lineage itself is diverse(I feel connected mainly to the Tlingit and Haida of the Pacific Northwest(I currently reside in North Idaho; it's been a good home indeed; I had an old friend who was Half Native American Pacific Northwest Wolf Clan and half Scottish), with it most closely connecting to the Athabaskan people that came from Alaska as well as Pacific Northwest tribes, trailing down into Mexico(Mixtec, which share a similar part of their origin story with the Haida when it comes to "a cliff coming out of the ocean", as well as Zapotec/Maya), and trailing down further to the Chibchan people of Colombia, to those who speak Quechha in Peru/Bolivia, all the way down to the Mapuche of Patagonia and even the Selknam, still here through the rainbow; I had a Mexican American online friend that told me "maybe you also care because you are a good person", which made me happy(I also had another Mexican American friend who told me I got "the right kind of tortillas" at the grocery store to make quesadillas, which also made me happy indeed lol); for me, a Native American Elder of Lakota, Mayan, Cherokee, and Hawaiian descent named Hyapatia(she has a KZbin channel; I believe it's called "Native strength & traditions"; she speaks a lot about the medicine wheel); she calls me "the true rainbow warrior", which has given me strength to continue going indeed; felt like sharing(ultimately 100% 🌈; "fuego de mi corazon/arcoiris); take care 🔥🌧🌈🌊🌬⛵

The explanation of the dance was very interesting and how cool that you arrived to a festival! Oaxaca looks pretty and colorful and chocolate mole sounds delicious.

[@NickHchaos]

There’s many kinds, not just with chocolate.

Hola Ruby. I really enjoyed watching this video, partly for the content and partly because you were having a good time. I think that is the secret. Do what you like, film something that you are interested in or that has meaning for you. And don't stress over a deadline. This video was a great start. Videos involving your family always seem to interest me. Oaxaca is one of my favorite states in Mexico. My four visits were in 1967, 1971, 1974 and 1977, way before the city was overwhelmed with tourists. Hotels and restaurants were still inexpensive back then. Before I forget I think the word you wanted for the queso fresco was crumbly. Was the Guelaquetza occurring in Oaxaca when you were there? The costumes you showed in your video are worn during special occasions, like the Guelaquetza, or a local saint's day. There are also smaller Guelaquetzas (Tlaxiaco for example, or even Pachuca). Most KZbin videos can't do a very good job of showing the annual Guelaquetza, but recently I watched a CORTV video and was pleased to see that many rarely seen examples of traje indigena are still being woven. Really beautiful.

[@RedSpiralHandTV]

Maaaannnn, the quesillo is SOOOO good here in Oaxaca.

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

Wonderful video! We love Oaxaca as well! I want a Tlayuda so bad right now! 😅

[@NickHchaos]

Wow, I think you were there almost the same time as me and my partner just now! I’ve also seen that guy with the pots and comales and others-/stayed close to La Merced both times I’ve stayed there. I’ve watched and walked along with many calendas in Oaxaca de Juarez just on the street, it’s so great you got to actually take part in one. I think it’s one of the most magical and unique places in the world. I was just there for Noche de Rábanos, a completely unique and mind blowing event. I’d like to go back and live there to study Español for awhile, and then travel around other places in the state and around Chiapas.

Quiero visitar y disfrutar de la comida! ❤❤❤

As a brazilian with close indigenous ancestry, I love your videos sistah, keep up the good work ❤

[@mariodeshaies7779]

me encanta visitar Oaxaca

[@Limbodaramus]

Thanks! I love your videos. I have to see if you have video of Guanajuato and Zacatecas. My grandparents are from there.

[@LaKarencitaMX]

Thank you very much for enjoying my videos. Your support really motivates me to keep making videos. I really appreciate it. I have two videos about Guanajuato. I haven't been able to visit Zacatecas yet.

[@LaKarencitaMX]

This is the most recent video I made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5u6cnmGpt-ce9ksi=rOaPy5WsxV2Cz1nO

I had fun watching! So colorful! I'm also a chocolate lover. I wish I could try some from Mexico, but I don't have that. I do have American chocolate, however, and now I'm going to go eat some. Thanks for the video!

[@NickHchaos]

When you can eat some high quality cacao and chocolate in Mexico from the people making in from the source to the bar (or drink), you will probably realize you have never tasted chocolate before. It is about as different from what most people can get elsewhere as a trader joe’s box wine is from a prize winning California or French vintage.

[@maryjoan4128]

Beauty , some day I hope ENJOY YOUR MAGICAL MEMORIES

[@DonterioDons]

I traveled to oaxaca. I have a dad from oaxaca, but he’s not indigenous, most of his family is lightskin and from oaxaca, my mom is Spaniard Guanajuato mix. We have seen the more, brutal side of oaxaca, over all the beautiful culture, lies other things, reality.

[@researchbear4074]

[@ILOVEDAVIDCAVAZIS]

I’m Mexican and I’ve never been to Oaxaca, but I do believe that’s the best place to eat because I love many meals from Oaxaca: tamales, huaraches, sopes, memelas, quesillo, mole negro, chocolate ❤ I must go

[@NickHchaos]

[@TheDudeness123]

Porque dices México con el sonido fuerte de la X (como Meksico, como los gringos) pero Oaxaca si la dices como "Oajaca" y no Oaksaca?

[@fernandoq9334]

Varias razones. La razón principal es que para los que hablan ingles se les hace mucho más fácil pronunciar Oaxaca con j. En ingles, Mexico siempre se ha pronunciado con x y no j. Es mas fácil para ellos, y como ya tiene cientos de anos pronunciándose así, asi quedo. En el idioma ingles, Meksico suena mejor que Mehico.

[@conniegonzales2821]

Thank you for sharing Mexican culture and traditions in English😁 I am a Mexican American who is not fluent in Spanish, but love to learn about my culture. Unfortunately videos about true Mexican culture are in Spanish. Your videos are fun and informative. I’m glad I found you 😁😁

[@utarmandoenchicago]

Stay in the same.
