Re: [ranchos] Racial Classifications was Moorish or Slave

 
There's a folder for it in Ranchos 2.  I found a book that gave a little background and some pictures.  Here's the link, and definitely blow up the link of the page of classifications so it's readable:

I could be wrong (my memory comes and goes with this stuff called menopause - should be called memorypause), but I think coyote was a term used to describe the mixed blood of Indians and African. 
 
There was a chart (perhaps someone can recall it here?) that described the various labels placed on the mixture of "races" during the early part of the conquest, when race delineation was seen as important by the Spanish.  I'll keep looking for this chart, but in the meantime, perhaps someone else on the board has easy access to it for reference?
