When the existing U.S.-Mexico border was established, the homelands of numerous indigenous peoples were split, dividing the populations of once-whole indigenous communities. The creation of the political border has resulted in physical and ideological barriers dividing traditionally united peoples on the U.S.-Mexico border, impacting notions of local indigenous identity within their communities. For indigenous peoples on the U.S.-Mexico border, the border impacts perceptions of self and “Other” as shifting beliefs and attitudes regarding the border shape identity construction among indigenous border residents. This essay addresses the complexity of identity construction and representation for U.S.-Mexico border indigenous peoples, with a focus on U.S. indigenous community members. I argue that indigenous individuals with U.S. citizenship and belonging to indigenous nations with cultural ties to Mexico experience a complex process of identity construction that may involve shifting perceptions of self in relationship to nationality, ethnicity, and politics. While U.S. members of border indigenous nations primarily identify by community or tribal affiliation, border peoples may also identify as “Native American,” “Native,” “Indigenous,” “Indígena,” “Indian,” “American Indian,” “American,” or “Mexican” depending on social context and personal life experience. As Tohono O’odham Nation member Ramon Valenzuela states, “I am O’odham first, and American or Mexican second or third” (Archibold 2006). I further argue that conflations of race and nationality among border indigenous

美墨边境的土著身份

当现有的美墨边界建立时,众多原住民的家园被分裂,曾经是完整的原住民社区的人口分裂。政治边界的建立导致了传统上团结的人们在美墨边界分裂的物质和意识形态障碍,影响了他们社区内当地土著身份的概念。对于美墨边境的原住民来说,边界会影响对自我和“他者”的看法,因为它改变了原住民边境居民对边界形状身份构建的信念和态度。本文讨论了美墨边境土著人民身份构建和代表的复杂性,重点关注美国土著社区成员。我认为与美国的土著人 公民身份和属于与墨西哥有文化联系的土著民族经历了一个复杂的身份建构过程,这可能涉及改变与国籍、种族和政治关系的自我认知。虽然边境土著民族的美国成员主要通过社区或部落隶属关系来识别,但边境人民也可以识别为“美洲原住民”、“原住民”、“土著”、“印第安人”、“印第安人”、“美洲印第安人”、“美国人” ”或“墨西哥人”取决于社会背景和个人生活经历。正如 Tohono O'odham 民族成员 Ramon Valenzuela 所说,“我首先是 O'odham,其次是美国人或墨西哥人”(Archibold 2006)。我进一步认为,边境土著之间的种族和国籍混为一谈 边境土著民族的成员主要通过社区或部落隶属关系来识别,边境人民也可以识别为“美洲原住民”、“原住民”、“土著”、“印第安人”、“印第安人”、“美洲印第安人”、“美国人”或“墨西哥人”取决于社会背景和个人生活经历。正如 Tohono O'odham 民族成员 Ramon Valenzuela 所说,“我首先是 O'odham,其次是美国人或墨西哥人”(Archibold 2006)。我进一步认为,边境土著之间的种族和国籍混为一谈 边境土著民族的成员主要通过社区或部落隶属关系来识别,边境人民也可以识别为“美洲原住民”、“原住民”、“土著”、“印第安人”、“印第安人”、“美洲印第安人”、“美国人”或“墨西哥人”取决于社会背景和个人生活经历。正如 Tohono O'odham 民族成员 Ramon Valenzuela 所说,“我首先是 O'odham,其次是美国人或墨西哥人”(Archibold 2006)。我进一步认为,边境土著之间的种族和国籍混为一谈 美国人或墨西哥人第二或第三”(Archibold 2006)。我进一步认为,边境土著之间的种族和国籍混为一谈 美国人或墨西哥人第二或第三”(Archibold 2006)。我进一步认为,边境土著之间的种族和国籍混为一谈
