  To Learn more about Ernesto's  Story read about the chain of events that took place in 1998 under

Community on this website,  first trip took place in 1998 when his secret was revealed, 

Ernesto Nava was born in Nazas, Durango in 1915. His mother, Macedonia Ramirez, was born in 1881.

He was taken out of Mexico when he was two years old because his mother was afraid that he would be killed in México or in the United States by Pancho Villa's enemies. She told him never to tell anyone. That secret lasted 80 years, he never could talk about it because of that promise he made to his mother. http://ciudadnazasdurango.blogspot.com/

His first trip to Mexico in 70 years was Parral, Chihuahua and Durango, Mexico with his youngest son Raul. "I asked if I could tell the janitor in the hotel that Dad was The Son of Pancho Villa and the janitor quickly called the owner of the hotel", according to Raúl. It turned out, the owner of the hotel, Jose Socorro Salcido Gomez wrote a book on Pancho Villa (Luz Y Sombras En La Muerte Del General Francisco Villa) and Jose is the President of the festivities held in Parral, Chihuahua today. 
Stories'
I enjoy listening to my dad's stories' about my grandmother Macedonia Ramirez.She was a true businesswoman.
Ernesto said how she wouldn't  waste anytime during the day. If she wasn't cooking, she was knitting,
always' doing something.She told my dad Ernesto she had a restaurant in Torroen Coahuila and in D.F. (Mexico city)
and traveled all over the States of Mexico. She also was in United States, she told my father, she traveled by train.
She came to California and talked about the Fresno area. Then she went back to Mexico, and sold her restaurants
before Ernesto was born in 1915. She fled out of country of Mexico when Ernesto was two years old in 1917 to New Mexico to start her new life.  Ernesto was about eight years old when she told him his father was Pancho Villa that was in 1923 when Villa was Killed.

MURIÓ DON ERNESTO

Gilberto Jiménez Carrillo

Cuando don Ernesto Nava empezó a ser conocido como hijo de Pancho Villa, muchos dudaron de su parentesco con el Centauro del Norte, incluso afirmaban que era necesaria una prueba de ADN para comprobar que realmente por las venas del señor Nava corría sangre villista. No se necesitaba ser muy buen fisonomista para entender que ese mentón prominente, el cabello ensortijado, la nariz  y los ojos chicos, una estatura de aproximadamente un metro ochenta, piel blanca, el gusto por el trabajo, el amor a sus hijos (tuvo catorce) y su rechazo al alcohol y al cigarro, eran signos que revelaban que los genes de don Ernesto habían sido heredados de su padre Doroteo Arango. La historia de don Ernesto es muy peculiar, digna de una novela, pero como supimos de su existencia hace apenas seis años, al menos alcanzó para ser mencionado en algunos libros y revistas como hijo del general Villa, en un extraordinario documental titulado “Pancho Villa, la Revolución no ha Terminado” de la autoría de Francesco Taboada y en múltiples entrevistas en televisión, además de homenajes en varias ciudades de México y Estados Unidos. Lo anterior nadie me lo platicó, un servidor, al igual que el licenciado José de la O Holguín, éramos los representantes legales de don Ernesto en México, y juntos programamos una serie de giras, entrevistas, reportajes y demás actividades que permitieron que miles de personas conocieran al último hijo varón vivo de Pancho Villa.

Por esas cosas raras del destino, en el año 2002 conocí a don Ernesto a través de un reportaje en el periódico San Francisco Cronicle. Para entonces el que esto escribe vivía en la ciudad de San José, estado de California. Confieso que cuando leí el articulo sobre el hijo de Pancho Villa no dejó de sorprenderme. Por supuesto que investigue su dirección, posteriormente lo conocí y me hice amigo de su hijo Raúl. Fue entonces cuando supe su historia

Don Ernesto Nava nació en Nazas, Durango en el año de 1915, justamente cuando Villa venía de retirada después de haber sido derrotado en las batallas del bajío. El general tuvo una relación fugaz con la señora Macedonia Ramírez y jamás se enteró que la había dejado embarazada y menos que meses después daría a luz al pequeño Ernesto. Después de la famosa incursión de Pancho Villa en Columbus el nueve de marzo de 1916, su cabeza tenía un precio y tropas americanas y mexicanas lo buscaban por todo Chihuahua. Al enterarse Macedonia que andaban buscando a Villa para matarlo, su ignorancia combinada con su instinto de madre, hizo que abandonara Nazas para irse a los Estados Unidos y años después casarse con un señor de apellido Nava, mismo que registró al niño Ernesto con su apellido. Sin embargo todo mundo en Nazas sabía que esa criatura era hijo de Pancho Villa. Conforme Ernesto fue creciendo se casó, tuvo catorce hijos con dos esposas diferentes y se estableció en la ciudad de Hayward, California. Sus compañeros de trabajo le decían que se parecía mucho a Pancho Villa, hasta que su madre le confesó que ese parecido era porque efectivamente su padre era el revolucionario duranguense. Doña Macedonia le hizo prometer a su hijo que nunca revelara el secreto. Al morir doña Macedonia, Ernesto Nava decidió dar a conocer sus orígenes a través del reportaje en el Cronicle de San Francisco y una entrevista en Telemundo.

A mi regreso de Estados Unidos lo primero que hice fue comentarle a mi buen amigo José de la O mi experiencia con don Ernesto. A partir del año 2003, José y yo le dimos a conocer al mundo a don Ernesto Nava Villa. Lo llevamos a las jornadas villistas en Parral, estuvo en los municipios de San Juan del Río, Ocampo, Lerdo, Cuencamé y por supuesto Nazas, lugares donde fue homenajeado. En la capital del estado don Ernesto fue recibido por el entonces rector de la UJED José Ramón Hernández Meraz y por Pedro Ávila Nevarez. Don Braulio Meraz Nevarez lo invitó a su casa y el entonces senador Adrián Alanis Quiñones le ofreció una comida. Un año después el doctor en derecho Jesús Héctor Carreón organizó una cena en su honor. La comunidad duranguense e hispana en general de las ciudades de Las Vegas, Nevada y Chicago Illinois, conocieron a don Ernesto, y José de la O y yo estuvimos con él en esas inolvidables giras. El pasado 31 de diciembre del 2009 falleció don Ernesto a la edad de 94 años llevando una vida fructífera y ejemplar. Quienes tuvimos el placer de conocerlo lo recordaremos siempre.

                                       Hayward Rotary  Club ; Speaker Ernesto Nava 11-23-09  

    Raul Nava; This is from a story that my dad Ernesto told me how he could help a sick man. 

SPEAKER

In 1923, Pancho Villa was assassinated. He is considered a hero in Mexico. The Museum of Pancho Villa, in Chihuahua, Mexico, honors the  life of this Mexican hero. Legend has it that Pancho Villa had 22  children. Ernesto Nava is his only remaining child. At the age of 8, Ernesto was instructed by his mother to never tell truth about heritage; as a result, this was kept a secret for many, many years. Raul Nava, the son of Ernesto, told the story of how his father helped a Hayward man, many years ago. The story goes like this :

 

Back in the 1940s, Ernesto Nava was visiting a friend in the Union City area. At his friend's house, he noticed a man huddled outside by a horse stable. When he asked the woman of the house what was wrong with the man and why he was outside, she replied that the man was sick. Ernesto went outside to speak to the man and learned that he had Tuberculosis. He decided to take the man with him on his travels to Fresno. Because Ernesto did not have place to lodge, he and the man slept outside in the fields, with blankets. In the mornings Ernesto would exercise with the man; to his surprise, he saw that this was making the sick man stronger. Eventually, Ernesto found a house to stay in and continued to care for his friend. His friend was extremely grateful and was never able to communicate his gratitude to Ernesto for what he had done. The man eventually became well enough to go to Pearl Harbor and then to war. The man did visit Ernesto during this time, but was never able to express his gratitude, as he would always become choked up with emotion. The man was eventually killed in the war. Raul tells this story to show how his father was able to give another man his dignity. Ernesto is a great person, independent from his relation to Pancho Villa.

Raul will be opening up the Pancho Villa event center on B Street, the site of Steve Rubiolo's old shop.
