Aztlán
*Includes pictures *Includes a bibliography for further reading "Who were the Aztec and from whence-it is answered in their mythico-histories. Like all other such origin myths, these differ in detail, not in basic content...And so, the Aztec they found in a cave the Hummingbird Wizard, the famous Huitzilopochtli...The idol gave them advice. It sounded well: wander, look for lands, avoid any large-scale fighting, send pioneers ahead, have them plant maize, when the harvest is ready move up to it; keep me, Huitzilopochtli, always with you, carrying me like a banner, feed me on human hearts torn from the recently sacrificed...All of which the Aztec did." - Victor W. Von Hagen From the moment Sp...

Return to Aztlan
Long before the Spanish colonizers established it in 1598, the “Kingdom of Nuevo México” had existed as an imaginary world—and not the one based on European medieval legend so often said to have driven the Spaniards’ ambitions in the New World. What the conquistadors sought in the 1500s, it seems, was what the native Mesoamerican Indians who took part in north-going conquest expeditions also sought: a return to the Aztecs’ mythic land of origin, Aztlan. Employing long-overlooked historical and anthropological evidence, Danna A. Levin Rojo reveals how ideas these natives held about their own past helped determine where Spanish explorers would go and what they would conquer in the n...

Aztlan Origin and Ethnology
Aztlán is the mystical place of origin of the Mexica people. It is beyond a mere physical location. Aztlán has become a metaphoric, geographic, historical and spiritual home to millions of Indigenous people of North America.Aztlán was in fact mystical and not mythical as portrayed by the established mainstream teachings. Historians and investigators were always looking for Aztlán in Mesoamerica. Aztlán remained elusive primarily due to lack of scientific cross-reference study of the Mexica codex, artifacts and sacred ruins from Mexico with the lower Colorado River Basin intaglios, geoglyphs, petroglyphs, pictographs, mountains images, equinoxes, solstices, local Native songs language and folklore.
Aztlán and Arcadia
In the wake of the Mexican-American War, competing narratives of religious conquest and re-conquest were employed by Anglo American and ethnic Mexican Californians to make sense of their place in North America. These “invented traditions” had a profound impact on North American religious and ethnic relations, serving to bring elements of Catholic history within the Protestant fold of the United States’ national history as well as playing an integral role in the emergence of the early Chicano/a movement. Many Protestant Anglo Americans understood their settlement in the far Southwest as following in the footsteps of the colonial project begun by Catholic Spanish missionaries. In contrast, Californios—Mexican-Americans and Chicana/os—stressed deep connections to a pre-Columbian past over to their own Spanish heritage. Thus, as Anglo Americans fashioned themselves as the spiritual heirs to the Spanish frontier, many ethnic Mexicans came to see themselves as the spiritual heirs to a southwestern Aztec homeland.
