Notica: March 15, 2006 "Anniversary"
By Guillermo Bejarano
0101aztlan was founded eight years ago "March 15, 1998", The mission in the making of Aztlannet and three list-servers allied with Yahoo!Groups. A mission to ensure a Chicano presents on the Internet and to sustain the membership/subscribers list-servers. While the mission hasn’t changed since 1998, the way we go after it has evolved over time, and will continue to evolve. It has evolved in ways to advance the Chicana, socio-activists, the workers, los pueblos, artists and writers—their particular point of view and work—the mission of action by group' respect, comradeship and unity.
Aztlannet_NEWS_ACTION_ARTE is about safeguarding our place” called Aztlan—a place of self-determination and provision for tomorrow—a creative path a bit instinctive and ideological to relay more on a revolutionary compass.
To members/subscribers, I’ve left it to you in delivering the message by taking ownership of the various pieces of the website and dialog, your reasons for needed direction—Of various social-political and cultural issues and agendas—it’s your product, story and compass. With that said, we have had several important contributors for which we been fortunate to have had. In the pursuit of our’ singular goals – sustain growth and group's respect, comradeship and unity. The compass as we see it.

Press Release: May 1, 2005
Aztlannet moves to a new domain 0101AZTLAN.NET* and will replace the AZTLANNET.COM.
Through out the six years in the life of aztlannet.com, I have appreciated your collaboration and especially your encouragement and support which has made the website a relevant public forum of Latino expression and social-political issues.
Now, I look back with resonance of a vision. In the remembrance in Mexico, 1970-71, as an art student, I was fortunate to have known David Alfaro Siqueiros and his mural “The March of Humanity”. The mural inspired in me a higher understanding about the world and particularly the revolutionary workers movements of Mexico and la historia de Americas. Siqueiros lead me around the twelve exterior murals of the Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros. The Maestro Siqueiros walked me around and he spoke and pointed to the following themes in which this website is dedicated to:
1. Destiny: the world marches forward.
2. Ecology: the leafless tree and the tree reborn.
3. Acrobats: the transition from spectacle to culture.
4. Masses: man and woman in their struggle for peace.
5. Decalog: Moses breaks the tablets of the law.
6. Christ: Christian why persecutest thou me.
7. Indigenous peoples: the sacrifice of the aborigine before civilized man’s divinity.
8. Dance: modern movement toward love and victory.
9. Mythology: the development of abstract thought.
10. Mingling of races: the drama of war and love during the conquest.
11. Music: the art without discrimination.
12. Atom: the triumph of peace over destruction.
