Song Of A Humming Bird

There are a couple of issues that I found myself in tune with and in agreement. One of the topics was that of the religious inquisition. My religious preference is not that of the Indigenous people or Catholic but I am and feel more compelled by the experience of the Indigenous people and their beliefs. In this story, Huitzitzilin deals with wanting to share the story of her life and to reveal the truth of the Spaniards conquest and having to stick to the confession standards and practices. I do not agree with the indigenous beliefs of Gods but I really appreciated the statement made by Huitzitzilin when she expressed how the Catholics wanted her Gods to vanish yet Catholics continue to idol worship. I also think the way Huitzitzilin expressed how the Catholic religion would force them to chant and recite prayers that they did not understand; the repetition of prayers went in vain when the Mexicas would recite them as Huitzitzilin explained. This in my belief is something that continues to this day, I know Catholics who have no idea what t

I hope that this book can bring to light to some people who are unaware of the history of Mexica’s and how the dominating religion of Catholicism came into Mexico today; it was forced on us it is just a tradition we choose to follow.

They both used the white man to their convenience and in Huitzitzilin’s case to cause heal her jealousy for Zentle.

Zintle her only true love this indeed made it harder to bare with, the fact that you lost someone who connected you with the love of your life and the loss of someone who came out of your womb. Another horrific issue is that of having become Captain Ovando’s lover and having his children is something that whether we like to admit continues to happen today. The rejection of Captain Ovando is something that all women experience with a man at least once in a lifetime. Captain Ovando’s rejection of his and her children is something that has happened from the beginning of time and today. The way Captain Ovando would just turn the other way when it came to Huitzitzilin an
