![]() The conquerors confused, they decided to use the expression and Spanish to refer to this tribe, as a gentilicio. ![]() The main pimas communities are in the municipality of Madera and in the community of Yepachi, belonging to the municipality of Temósachi.ĭuring the colonization, whenever the Spaniards asked the o'odham speakers something, they responded pi'ma, whose meaning may be"does not exist","I do not have", or"I do not understand". According to some of the missionaries, the Tepehuanes were warlike and polytheistic. They are distributed in rancherías between summits and ravines of the Sierra Tarahumara, in the south of Chihuahua.Īt the time of colonization, the Tepehuanes were evangelized by Franciscan and Jesuit missionaries. They live north in the Sierra Madre Occidental. Tepehuano translates as"people of the mountains". The Tepehuanes of the north or ódami, usually live in the municipality of Guadalupe and Calvo, although they are also found in smaller numbers in the municipality of Guachochi. In addition, it limits to the west with the mountainous zone of the state of Sonora, in the east with Chihuahua and to the south with the entity of Durango. The territory that is known as Sierra Tarahumara is located in the mountainous system that crosses from north to south to the Sierra Madre Occidental in the state of Chihuahua. Its language is part of the Aztec yuto family, the same that expands from the state of Utah and goes to Central America. The Tarahumara Indians call themselves"rarámuris", which means"runners on foot". Guarijío or guarijó means"people", also translated as"the people who speak the guarijía". They lived there since before the arrival of the Spaniards.Īs for the language, this community speaks variants belonging to the yuto Nahua language family. The Guarijíos continue to inhabit in their original territory, that is to say, in the surroundings of the border that delimits to Sonora and Chihuahua. The rest speak some language from the Mixtec languages. Finally, the Nahuatl with 1.2%, which equals 1,286. Then there is Tepehuán with 7.3%, approximately 8,396 Indians. The locations of these ethnic groups are located in territories that are difficult to access.Īs for the language, the predominant in the entity is the Tarahumara with 84.2%, or 85,316 people. Of these, 86% have less than 50 inhabitants, which are divided into four groups. In the state of Chihuahua there are 6,998 registered indigenous communities. Power generation through renewable sources is an effective alternative to mitigate climate change as its environmental impact is lower compared to fossil fuels.In addition, according to UNESCO, the Catholic religion is the predominant among the indigenous population, with 78.1%. However, socioeconomic problems are constant in sites where power plants are installed, especially in developing countries. In this paper, an innovative methodology was developed to assess the suitability of electricity generation through solar, wind, and biomass energy. Unlike most studies found in scientific literature, this work considers social, environmental, and economic aspects as key to determine the suitability of energy projects. First, we carried out a comprehensive analysis on social acceptance and resilience towards renewable energy and the conditions for communities to benefit from these projects then, we analyzed the availability and capacity of renewable energy sources in Mexico, as a case study. Next, a set of indicators related to the three pillars of sustainability was developed to assess the conditions of each place with the best renewable resources in the country. The life cycle and capacity factor of each technology were also considered. Lastly, a mathematical model was developed to determine the most suitable locations and technologies for power generation. The results show a trend towards the states of northern Mexico, especially those bordering the United States, as the most viable for electricity generation. The most appropriate technology is wind energy. Finally, Oaxaca, the state with the best wind resources and current leader in wind power generation in Mexico is, by contrast, the least viable state for wind generation, as has been later confirmed by scientific evidence, as wind facilities are associated with severe socio-cultural and economic damage in host communities in this state.

La generación eléctrica mediante fuentes renovables es una alternativa eficaz para mitigar el cambio climático, pues su impacto ambiental es menor en comparación al de los combustibles fósiles. Sin embargo, hay problemas socioeconómicos constantes en los lugares donde se instalan las centrales eléctricas, especialmente en los países en desarrollo.
