Before delving into Aztec Angel, closer examination of Chicano literature will serve as an excellent primer for understanding how Salinas felt when writing the piece. After a turbulent 1960’s Civil Rights Movement, the Chicano movement has made a significant impact on societal change. At the heart of the movement is a sense of pride in their Chicano heritage and keeping culture alive through writing, helping unite other Mexican Americans identify with the issues needing change. According to an article on the ChicanoMovement.Wikispaces.com, the three main goals of the Chicano Movement were: restoration of land, rights for farm workers, and education reforms. One of the primary goals of the modern Chicanos has been to voice the disparities between their upbringings versus the more privileged Anglo-Saxon experience.

Sanjek went to EC to observe how far the diverse population has come in forming an integrated body politic in which all perspectives are represented, and in which all people work together to find common ground. I do believe that Sanjek did succeed in his assignment as he pointed out the three major lessons learned during this study and I, as a reader learned them as well. As government does matter in this story, I think that the biggest lesson to me in this story is that people matter. The people of EC saw what was happening to their neighborhood and they were not happy.

The Native Americans have many traditions that are carried on to today, 2013. This culture has a significant importance on the study of culture diversity because the land that they lived on and their traditional practices are still part of the American culture. In my opinion the American culture takes advantage of the symbols and rituals that the Native Americans had, for instance, dream catchers are still very popular as well as moccasins, peace pipes and teepees but very few Americans know the significance of the important
