	Tzintzuntzan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tzintzuntzan is a city in the state of Michoacán, Mexico, located at 19°37′N 101°35′W.
		Tzintzuntzan stands on the eastern shore of Lake Pátzcuaro, about 15 km north of the city of Pátzcuaro and about 60 km west of state capital Morelia, and at some 2050 m above sea level.
		Following the disgrace and recall of Nuño de Guzmán, Vasco de Quiroga was sent to the region, and Tzintzuntzan served as the headquarters of Spanish power in the area until the bishopric was relocated to Pátzcuaro in 1540.

	Tzintzuntzan, Mexico
		With an area of almost 7sq.km/3sq.mi and a population of some 40,000, Tzintzuntzan was the ruling town of the Tarascans, who continued to develop into most formidable warriors.
		Vasco de Quiroga was appointed Bishop of Michoacán in 1537 with a provisional seat in Tzintzuntzan; later the bishopric was moved to Pátzcuaro.
		The bishop promoted the Indians' skills and capabilities as artisans and craftsmen in the widest possible way and thereby initiated the development of the wide variety of trades and crafts which to this day are practised by the inhabitants of this region.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Cahn, All Religions Are Good in Tzintzuntzan
		Between 1998 and 2001 I conducted fieldwork in Tzintzuntzan and its neighboring communities on the shores of Lake Pátzcuaro in the central-western Mexican state of Michoacán.
		As a result of the ongoing presence of anthropologists in Tzintzuntzan, of which I am the third generation, nearly everyone in the community is a willing collaborator with inquisitive outsiders.
		In the traditionally Catholic community of Tzintzuntzan, where evangelical churches have become part of the religious landscape only during the past two decades, I sought to look behind the static, self-identifying labels of Catholic and evangelical to examine the process of mutual accommodation that characterizes religious life.

	Tzintzuntzan, Mexico -- Purepecha (Tarascan) People; by Randy R. Johnson
		Guzmán arrived in Tzintzuntzan in 1530 and promptly subverted all progress toward conversion of the Indians.
		Tzintzuntzan: "The Place of the Hummingbirds", even the hummingbirds are gone now, hunted to extinction by the Purépecha, who prized their iridescent feathers to adorn their clothing.
		In contrast to the ubiquitous red and white buildings of Pátzcuaro, Tzintzuntzan is a study in brown.

	Journal of Latin American Anthropology
		Tzintzuntzan is one of about two dozen predominantly mestizo communities on the shores of Lake PÃ¡tzcuaro in the heartland state of MichoacÃ¡n.
		In Tzintzuntzan, this pattern was evident in the replacement of a civil-religious hierarchy that conferred prestige on a few individuals with cost-sharing mechanisms that spread the burden of fiesta sponsorship over the whole community (Foster 1967).
		In Brandesâs study of the fiesta cycle in Tzintzuntzan as a form of social control, he concludes that the relationship between priest and pueblo is inherently tense.

		Tzintzuntzan is a Spanish-speaking peasant community of 2500 people, on the east shore of Lake Pátzcuaro, 230 miles west of Mexico City on a good paved highway.
		Briefly during the early colonial period, Tzintzuntzan was slated to be the seat of the bishopric for west central Mexico, but the church fathers soon thought better of such ambitious plans.
		Tzintzuntzan is a pottery-making and trading village, in which farming is of secondary importance, best characterized as mestizo by race and peasant by cultural typology (1979b).

	Tzintzuntzan
		As a background to these studies, the Tzintzuntzan documentation file provides an inventory of the available types of data for computerized ethnographic census, network and longitudinal studies.
		The demographic analysis done so far on Tzintzuntzan mostly concerns household composition (Foster, 1948; Brandes, 1979) and migration dynamics (Kemper, 1977, 1995), in addition to basic information on mortality and fertility rates at several points in time during the 20th century.
		With support from the Mellon Foundation, program in Anthropology and Demography, we are going to measure how much Tzintzuntzan kinship networks (consanguinity, affinity, and structural characteristics of families and individuals) can account for demographic processes such as fertility, migration, household formation and other significant social processes such as social stratification.

	Empire's Children: The People of Tzintzuntzan
		Although there are numerous patterns of Indian origin in the present way of life of Tzintzuntzan, the total picture of their culture is that of a hybrid, Spanish-Indian culture which is typical of so many rural Mexican communities.
		The relationship of Tzintzuntzan to the national culture of Mexico is shown by its participation in national movements and by the presence of national institutions.
		The material culture, the diet, the agriculture, the marketing activities, and the folk technology of Tzintzuntzan are well described and documented by the use of statistical tables and charts on work, income, diet, etc. The religious patterns, the ceremonial, and the municipal organization of the village are described and analyzed.

	Our Mexico -- Tzintzuntzan, Hummingbirds in the Stones
		As you step over them to walk among the the rooms, you share footsteps with the highest priest of the Purépechan empire, the Petámuti, who lived in Tzintzuntzan and presided over all priests in the empire, ensuring that they collected wood and kept the temple fires burning night and day.
		With the arrival of the Spanish army, the grand plaza of Tzintzuntzan must have been a surreal scene.
		Surrounded by the blood and dismembered bodies of eight hundred slaves, the Spanish proceeded to overturn religious statues, burn the temples and put on a military display of horses, soldiers and rifle fire to impress the Cazonci, his assembled advisors and the priests.

	North America on the Matrix: Tzintzuntzan, Mexico
		From at least 1100 until the arrival of the Spanish in 1522, Tzintzuntzan was the center of a city that once held some 40,000 royals, nobles, priests and bureacrats who administered a widespread empire of 1.5 million people.
		The most prominent ruins at Tzintzuntzan today are five massive "yácatas" that stand in a line on a great stone platform roughly 1450 feet long by 850 feet wide.
		Even before the Spanish arrived in Tzintzuntzan, the Purépecha learned from Aztec messengers of the fall of the great Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán (which once stood on the site that is now Mexico City).

		Eventually, however, the Purhépecha transferred their capital to Tzintzuntzan ("Place of the Hummingbirds"), which is about 15 kilometers north of Pátzcuaro, on the northeastern shore of the lake.
		Although Tzintzuntzan remained the headquarters of the Franciscans, it soon dwindled in size and significance as the royal title of City of Michoacán passed to Pátzcuaro.
		Tzintzuntzan was the major religious center, as well as being the political and eco-nomic center of the empire.

	Tzintzuntzan. Sober and mysterious austerity (Michoacán)
		Together with Pátzcuaro and Ihuatzio, Tzintzuntzan was the capital of the Tarascan empire where the region’s economic and political power was held.
		Archeological research in 1930 revealed that Tzintzuntzan was a thriving urban center with 25 to 30,000 people (area of almost 7 km2), located between the shores of Lake Pátzcuaro and two hills, when the first Spanish soldiers arrived.
		This is especially true if we compare Tzintzuntzan with other contemporary urban centers that were also centers of great political and religious power.

	Cahn, All Religions Are Good in Tzintzuntzan, University of Texas Press
		Catholics and evangelicals alike profess that "all religions are good," a sentiment not far removed from "here we are all equal," which was commonly spoken in the community before evangelicals arrived.
		In this paradigm-challenging study, Peter Cahn investigates why the coming of evangelical churches to Tzintzuntzan has produced neither the interfaith clashes nor the economic prosperity that evangelical conversion has brought to other communities in Mexico and Latin America.
		He also underscores how Tzintzuntzan's integration into global economic networks strongly motivates the preservation of community identity and encourages this mutual borrowing.

		The main attraction on the eastern shore of the lake is Tzintzuntzan ('Place of the Hummingbirds'), 17km from Pátzcuaro and once the centre of the vast Tarascan empire and designated the first capital city of Michoacán by Bishop Vasco de Quiroga in the 1530s.
		The village of Tzintzuntzan is well-known as a craft centre - the shops lining the main street at the entrance to the village are full of wonderfully delicate artesanía de palma (straw goods - the local speciality) such as baskets, mats, straw dolls, and Christmas decorations.
		Much of the red and fl stone blocks at the front of the building were raided from the nearby Tarascan temples.

		The next stop on our tour of Lake Pátzcuaro was the town of Tzintzuntzan, founded by Purépecha (or Tarascan) Indians as their capital city in the 13th century.
		With thunder rumbling over the lake but never moving in, we listened to our guide's explanation of the history of the place, then we all dispersed to wander, photograph, and explore for a half an hour or so before returning to our van.
		I perhaps should have mentioned that the name Tzintzuntzan is said to mean "place abundant in hummingbirds" and to say the word is to mimic the sound of hummingbird wings.

		We haven't even mentioned Morelia, the most Spanish of all Mexican cities, which warrants a book all of its own.
		This old Indian pueblo of the Purepechos was formerly the capital of the Indian Mechuacan (land of the fishermen), which today is called Michoacan.
		The Purepecho came to Mechuacan in the 12th century probably from Peru and represent still today the majority of the inhabitants of Tzintzuntzan.

	Semana Santa, Tzintzuntzan, Mexico on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
		Three times in the last fifteen years I have gone to Tzintzuntzan to document their Semana Santa (but also because I always loved being in the church square with its ancient olive trees, to just sit there during the week and just to observe what happens).
		The week is filled with mysterious rituals and processions (complete with crimson hooded horsemen entering the church on horseback) that have much to do with the grafting of Catholicism to ancient Tarascan culture.
		It is said that as recently as the 1970's, in a village in the mountains near Tzintzuntzan, penitents had themselves crucified with thin nails....
