内布拉斯加的墨西哥遗产庆典
地方性遗产
您想要将何种家族常规传授给其他人呢？它可能是一道您很喜爱的食谱或是一项每年与亲人共同举办的活动。
1900及1930年间，大批墨西哥人涌入美国中西部各州，内布拉斯加即为其中一州。许多人来美国寻求工作机会及更佳的生活质量。1990年代间，内布拉斯加历史协会(Nebraska
State Historical Society)发起了墨裔美人常规(Mexican
American Traditions)的内布拉斯加计画，旨在收集及保存州内的墨裔美人历史。计画中的一部分为，墨裔美人义工访问常规艺术家、音乐家及社区中的年长者有关他们熟悉的历史、文化及常规。
其中一个例子为一位来自于内布拉斯加斯科特悬崖(Scottsbluff)的妇女，她述说她病卧床上的父亲是如何教导她跳墨西哥常规舞蹈。她父亲在自己的脚上放置了一块直立的板子并大声念出舞步，而她也会重覆这些舞步，直到他们两人的舞步相符为止。当她学会这些舞步后，她的父亲要她承诺，她将会把这些舞步传授给他人，因而她成立了一个舞蹈团体并开始制作服饰，这些服饰的风格取自于她父亲的墨西哥出生处。现在，许许多多的人都能够一起分享这项常规了。
What traditions does your family have that you'd want to pass along to others? It could be a recipe for a dish you really like to eat, or an activity that you do every year with your relatives.
Between 1900 and 1930, thousands of Mexicans arrived in Midwestern states such as Nebraska. Many came to find jobs in the United States and seek a better life. During the 1990s, the Nebraska State Historical Society started the Mexican American Traditions in Nebraska project to help collect and preserve the history of Mexican Americans in the state. As part of the project, Mexican American volunteers interviewed traditional artists, musicians, and older community members about their history, culture, and traditions.
One example was a woman from Scottsbluff, Nebraska, who told how her father, who was ill and unable to get out of bed, was still able to teach her traditional dances. Her father had a vertical board placed against his feet, and he "sounded out" the steps. His daughter would repeat the steps until they sounded right. Once she learned the dances, her father asked her to promise to teach others. She formed a dance group and she made dresses in the style of her father's birthplace in Mexico. Now many people are able to share in this tradition.
