Mai ka wā ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana o ka Paniolo, ka Michoacán kahiko.
ʻO ka ʻāina o ka Purépecha, haʻaheo iā ia iho e lilo i mea like me ka māla, me nā ululāʻau ulu lāʻau a me nā wahi i noho ʻia me nā mea kanu nui, nā awāwa nui e like me nā kūlanakauhale he ʻumikūmākahi, nā awāwa ākea i hoʻonani ʻia me nā loko a me nā loko iʻa nani hoʻokahi, nā mauna kiʻekiʻe a nā luaipele a me kahi kahakai nui me nā kihi hiki ʻole ke helu ʻia. Eia kekahi, he wahi nui ia kahi i ulu ai kahi moʻomeheu ʻōiwi o ka pilina a me ke koʻikoʻi nui, ʻoiai ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke poina i kāna kuʻuna viceregal waiwai.
I kēia wā, ua ʻae ʻia ka hoʻohui ʻana o nā mea moʻomeheu iā Michoacán e lilo i mea kūikawā, ʻoiai ua hōʻike ʻia kahi wahi kolone i kēlā me kēia hiʻohiʻona o kāna hoʻolālā, mai ka 16 kenekulia a i ka wanaʻao o ka 19 kenekulia. . I ka waiwai o ka moʻomeheu a me ka hana noʻeau i hoʻokō ʻia i kēia mau ʻāina, e ʻike ʻoe i nā kūlanakauhale kiʻi nani kahi i waiho ai ka ʻeuanelio Franciscan i nā hiʻohiʻona kūkulu nani, e like me Angahuan, Tzintzuntzan, Quiroga a me Pátzcuaro, nā wahi āpau me kahi laʻana maikaʻi o ka hoʻolālā kūloko a me ka hoʻomana. , a i ʻole e like me nā kaona liʻiliʻi naif o Naranja de Tapia, ʻo Tupátaro a me Erongarícuaro, me kā lākou mau laʻana o nā kiʻi kaulana i pili i nā hōʻailona Karistiano.
Hoʻololi nā wahi ʻāina o Michoacán, akā i loko o ia mau mea āpau e ʻike ʻoe i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o ka hana a nā mōneka, nā kāne a me nā wahine i kūkulu i nā hale paʻa, nā luakini, nā ʻaha a me nā hale aliʻi a me nā hale nui, me kahi peʻa o ka nani a me ka hiwahiwa. Ua lawa ia e hoʻomanaʻo ai ma aneʻi ke kapitala nui, ka mea kaulana ʻo Morelia, me kona kiʻi o nā rosa quarried a me nā hale kiaʻi nui o kona hale pule, nā māla a me nā pā, ʻo Colegio de San Nicolás kahiko, ka hale aliʻi nui ʻo Clavijero, nā hale nunneries me ko lākou mau luakini. a me nā ʻāpana kuahu a me nā hana ʻē aʻe he nui e hoʻonani ai i ke kūlanakauhale a me he mea lā e aʻa me ka nui o nā kaʻao a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a puni iā lākou. Ma hope aku, pono nō mākou e ʻōlelo i nā kaona nani a nani hoʻi o ka moʻomeheu mining kahiko, e like me Tlalpujahua, kahi i hāʻawi ai ka bonanza o nā poho wai i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā luakini nani a me nā hale aliʻi i mau nā wā o ka waiwai. ʻO nā lehulehu ʻē aʻe e pili ana i nā loko a noho i nā mauna, mālama i ko lākou helehelena maʻalahi o nā alanui cobbled, me ko lākou mau luakini austere kahi i hui pū ʻia ai ka ikaika o ka poʻe ʻeuanelio a me ke akamai o nā kamaʻāina e hoʻokō i nā laʻana maoli o ka makemake nui. I kēia mau heluna kanaka, ʻo nā ʻano maʻalahi hoʻi o nā hale a me nā hale i hoʻāʻo e hoʻopili i ka palapala honua e pili ana i ka lāʻau, nā shingles a me nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe ʻē aʻe.
ʻO kahi kipa iā Michoacán e ʻae iā ʻoe e ʻike i kahi honua ʻokoʻa, no ka mea, i kēlā me kēia kihi o kona palena nui e ʻike ʻoe i kahi ʻāina ʻokoʻa, me nā koena o kahi kuʻuna lōʻihi kahi e kamaʻilio mau ai nā manaʻo a me ka ʻuhane e kamaʻilio pinepine nei i ka hui ʻana o Tarasse.
