Indiana’s Oldest Latino Hoosier Tradition Turns 100
Sunday, September 15, 2024, will be the 100th anniversary of the Fiestas Patrias parade in Indiana Harbor (East Chicago). One hundred years ago, this Mexican American community, coupled with the smaller community in Gary, gathered to celebrate Mexico’s Independence from Spain (1821). However, this inaugural Indiana parade had a deeper meaning. The early Mexican American community was taking refuge in their newfound Indiana home while recovering from post-revolutionary events. From 1910-1920 Mexico had another revolution, this time it was for economic equity, secularism and land reform. This would be followed by smaller battles (Cristero War) well into the 1920s. This war was in opposition to Calles Law, a secular anticlerical article that was amended to the Mexican Constitution in 1917. The political instability in Mexico during these years was among one of the factors propelling emigration into the United States.
