Mexica
Location
His name was Eztli which means blood
in Nahuatl, once you name your child
You
can never go back. People think that
the Nahuatl culture is done because the
Europeans and Spaniards conquered us
and changed our name from Mexica to
Aztec, now people think to
put us is a box and call us
Spanish or Latinos or Mexicans
We are not
Spanish
Latino
or Mexicans
we are Mexicas from indigenous
people all over Mexico
but
the fight is not done
all over in the Americas
people are naming their sons and
daughters names like Eztli,
Xochilt, Olin, and Coyotl.
They are all proud of their
culture that survived throughout
the ages despite ethnocide and
genocide that others have inflicted
on us
French
Spaniards
Portuguese
They have all tried to bring us down
we have to fight
and reject what society
throws at us
Columbus Day is a day that is
suppose to celebrate the fact
that Columbus discovered
America
instead it shows us how
one person was capable of
so much
destruction and mayhem
destroying cultures and
people, being
derogatory and
racist
This is not the whole truth
This is only part of the unfinished
Tale.
