La India María

María Nicolasa Cruz was an indigenous woman from the town of San José de los Burros, and as many of the indigenous populace of Mexico, she lives in poverty, but makes due with what she has and lives happily, honestly, without worries.

With a humor fit for the whole family, María was often placed in ridiculous situations, like being a luchadora, a motorciclist, a bullfighter, politician and even a rich lady. But the main focus of her movies was at reflecting the Mexican vices of the time: racism, discrimination, corruption, crime… all of them contrasted by her honest and generous nature, as a hard-worker who gets taken advantage of, but who always finds a way to overcome the dificulties of the world.

María Elena Velasco, the actress behind La India, passed away in the early hours of May 1st, 2015, at the age of 74 years.

I remember watching these all of the time whenever Oh Yeah! Cartoons was on. 

It was and still is a damn shame that this was never made into a full series. 

Yeah instead all we got was that robot girl anime, whatever it’s name was

Ugh, thanks a lot Renzetti >:/
