1. Their villages look like rural Western Canada...
2. Many of them came from rural Western Canada in the 1920s.
3. They left Western Canada, as they had left Holland, Prussia, and Russia before that, for fear they would be forcibly assimilated, in this case through public education. Mexico offered them a special (Spanish-language) contract.
5. Each village has a number, not a name.
6. Unlike many of the American Amish, they use cars and electricity without hesitation. They are quite prosperous, in a Mennonite sort of way.
7. They still make cheese using methods from centuries ago.
8. Their best cheeses, which are non-pasteurized, are illegal in the United States.
9. Many of their road signs and advertisements are written in hochdeutsch, but they speak eighteenth century plattdeutsch. Their Spanish is sing-song and halting all at once.
10. They bake little cookies called "Galletas Menonitas," and they eat borscht and tacos.
11. The adjacent Tarahumaras make for a striking contrast.
There’s something sort of creepy about a community where everyone is blond. It’s probably because there was some sci-fi/horror movie (whose title I can’t remember) about just that sort of community, and as you undoubtedly have guessed it wasn’t a _nice_ community
We have Mennonites here in the Yucatan too. Rumour has it they live somewhere out towards Campeche. Our friend, a guy who owns a plumbing supply company, says they are one of his biggest customers. They walk around Merida in their uniform of plaid shirts and overalls (the men) and longsleeved, long dresses with hats (the women) and they sell cheese (men only). We tried the cheese once…didn’t particularly like it. Thanks for the info!

I live in a community with a colony of Mexican Mennonites. I am interested in this culture in regards to schooling, and family responsibilities. I would like to hear back from anyone that has information on these areas.
Thank you
