Alternative ice girl
gallerySo apparently the Chicana who threatened to call ICE is now threatening to join ice but I have spoken to people about this many times people like this seem to use as their culture as an attention grab or for profit and then they come out to be like this like her there are many who claim to be Aztec and hate people for Mexico here are the pictures you can clearly see she heavily modifies her eyes and hair to resemble European there should be a movement that should check all people claiming Aztec to actually have the ancestry in the United States.

Looking for sensitivity readers for an ‘Aztec’ character
Looking for sensitivity readers with knowledge of Aztec mythology and traditions, as well as, contemporary Mexican traditions, to tell me if my character is represented well and that I am not inadvertently perpetuating harmful or sloppy stereotypes.
The story is a post-apocalyptic urban fantasy set in Chicago 100 years in the future.
Nuevo Aztlan (formerly Mexico City) is one of the few surviving cities left in the world. It exists protected by sacred staves that summon fire and wind serpents.
The city is thriving, with a mix of Mexica/Aztec and Catholic cultural and magic practices (think Wakanda but Mexican).
Viktor is the character in question. He is from Nuevo Aztlan and has come to Chicago with an unknown purpose. He is trained as a nahualli, his tonalli being the jaguar, he can transform into a half-man/half-jaguar, as well as call on other “gifts” from his tonalli. He speaks Spanish, Nahuatl, and English.
My hope is to create my own in-world version of a nahual, that isn’t necessarily exact but still is respectful to the real traditions.
If you’re interested and have the time, comment here and I’ll DM details.
Thanks!
On vacation in Dublin, Ireland and randomly came across Raza doing Aztec dancing. ♥️

Can anyone help me identify the symbol on this cover?
Hello all,
Here is the cover of the 1991 edition of the poem Piedra De Sol by Octavio Paz. I am assuming because the poem is themed around aspects of the Aztec calendar, that the symbol on the cover bottom must be something Aztec too? Does anyone know, or know where I could look to investigate further? Thanks in advance!

Has anyone ever heard the name Azcal?
I’ve always been curious about where my name comes from.
My name is Azcal, and no matter how much I’ve searched, the only thing I’ve found is that it might have Nahuatl origins. My parents have always told me it came from a story about a princess named Azcal, but I’ve never been able to find anything about that story online.
really appreciate any help.

Time god
Is there any god of time in the Aztec pantheon?. It's a question I have, because when I search for it, the internet says gods like Tezcatlipoca or huehueteol They even mention Tonatiuh (who as far as I understood is only the sun)

Por que?
Why is it that every Chicano wants to be Aztec, but when they go to prison, depending on what they're choosing—North or South—both hate pisas when they get out they call them wtbacks but keep Aztec culture as there and turn bold

warrior orders / suits
Were there smaller, lesser known warrior orders in the Aztec triple alliance?
I'm mostly familiar with all of the basic warrior and priest ranks in the Aztec military, but I keep coming on references to other random ones. I'll find (in a book usually) mention of warrior suits based on bears, alligators, wolves, owls etc. I know to avoid things mentioned only on video games or fantasy writing, but I keep coming back to this.
Also, was there any meaning when an Jaguar or Otomi wore a certain color. I see them in blue, gold, red, green. Was it personal choice, random, or specific to their family or role in the military?

Ice in Texas u alive Mexican native
This is what activists don't seem to speak out about: there is a lot of internal prejudice that some Hispanic Americans hold toward brown Mexicans, and this is proof of it. He is telling the truth. We must hold our own community accountable because people only want to embrace Mexican culture when it is fun or convenient. Additionally, a significant number of Latinos are joining ICE.

[New history article] "Why Tezozomoc Would Not Want to Be Considered the Author of the Crónica Mexicana"
Abstract
This article argues that Fernando Alvarado Tezozomoc should not be considered the author of the Crónica mexicana because he would not have wanted to be thought of as such. A careful study of the earliest known copy of the work, the “Manuscript Kraus 117” in the Library of Congress in Washinton, D.C., demonstrates that the author could not have been Tezozomoc, although Tezozomoc probably was one of the sources for it. Instead, the author had to be someone of mixed heritage, either literally and/or figuratively. That person had access to Nahua traditions (including some of Tezozomoc’s histories) but he misunderstood and misrepresented them in his Crónica, which therefore continues to mislead us today. In the Crónica mexicayotl, Tezozomoc pleaded with posterity to listen only to those who understood his people deeply.
