Section One focuses on the ancient Native Americans, the history of the Spanish and Mexican periods and the acquisition of vast amounts of Mexican territory by the United States under the Treaty of Hidalgo. Section Two focuses on the displacement of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans, their contributions, fight for equality, triumph, the role of family and community cohesiveness. Section Three focuses on military service, the National Farm Workers Association, ethnic identity and assimilation, the Chicano Movement and changing family roles.
