About me:

I'm dedicated to the mission of promoting Indigenous economic determination and strengthening Indigenous communities through asset control and the dissemination of knowledge.

I Demand Indigenous Rights - - Preserving & Revitalizing Traditions, Customs & Culture - - Self-Sufficiency, Autonomy, Prosperity - - Breaking Down The Border - - Dignity, Land & Liberty -

From Indian to Latina. From Prickly Pear to Desert Fruit. I'm the last of the Caxcan. From La Gran Chichilmecatl, Arizona to Teocallintzin (the place of the little pyramid), now Teocaltiche, tomorrow Teocal City. My name means red lineage, red people. American historians will tell you that I'm extinct but I'm not. Most of my history is oral. Tenamaxtli and Zapata are my heroes. The Aztecs, the Mexica, and the Maya, THEY are my ancestors! Tengo sabor Latino pero no soy Latina! Not Hispanic! Not Mestiza! Not Raza! These are Eurocentric labels of exclusion rather than inclusion. They reject Indigenous identity. Denying heritage in order to seem like one of the majority = silent genocide. Silent genocide is the destruction of a people by destroying pride and knowledge in their cultural heritage. There is a direct correlation between cultural genocide and second class status. The crime of labels. Sure you can trust the Government just ask an Indian! La DIY Revolución no ha terminado!

Un pueblo que no sabe leer y escribir, es un pueblo facil de enganar. - Che Guevara

"Nonetheless, this otherwise natural process was dramatically altered by colonization. These colonizing efforts were accomplished by force and often with great speed, producing dramatic changes within Indigenous societies and interfering with the natural process of adaptation and change. This disruption has had a genocidal effect; groups of Indigenous peoples that existed 500 years ago no longer exist. There should be no doubt that their extinction was not an accident--it was the product of a concerted effort to subjugate and eliminate the native human population in order to allow for the pursuit of wealth and manifest destiny. As a result, extinction is the most dramatic effect of colonization. Allowed to run its full course, colonization will disrupt and destroy the natural evolutionary process of the people being colonized to the point of extinction."SYMPOSIUM:RE-FRAMING INTERNATIONAL LAW FOR THE 21ST CENTURY 1999, JAYAN NAYAR.

The Nahua were and are today the descendants of a people whose scope of the sciences, the arts and the cosmos confound the minds of modern scholars. In less than 200 years the Mixika (Aztec) transformed themselves from a band of wandering nomads to one of the greatest civilization the world had ever known. What records remain of this amazing feat indicate they did it through brilliant military campaigns and by ingeniously applying technology to master the harsh environment they faced. They built their capital city where no city should have been possible: in the middle of a lake. They employed methods of architecture and technology contemporary scientist and engineers can only speculate upon. With all of our mechanized high tech equipment we can still not duplicate the precision of their pyramids, or even approach the calculations of the heavens with as much accuracy. - Alliance for the Advancement of Indigenous/Chicano Culture

What happened to the Mexica? The Catholic church created the bloodiest, most horrific organized disaster in human history. Almost nothing was left by the time the church was done. No one who might have been able to recreate any coherent details of the massacre would have opened their mouths about it if they survived. If they had spoken out in any way, they would have been executed. Their families and friends would have been raped and tortured in ways that would fascinate and disgust our modern imaginations. For this reason, much of the history and tradition of the Mexica had to be passed on orally and secretly. The Spanish Conquest reduced the population of Mexico by nine tenths in three to five years. We're not talking about a few scattered tribes' people here. From what we can gather together out of the historical sources, we know that Mexico had a population of millions of the most highly educated and refined people on Earth at that time. - John Mini

Nican Tlaca is preferable because it is a label of inclusion rather than exclusion. Plus, we believe in peace, we let anyone in. We're not an occidental culture. A quick history lesson: The Mexica welcomed Cortes with cups of xocolatl. When Indigenous people deny their heritage in order to seem like one of the majority they stop tending to their garden and the papalotls stop coming.

We are not White! Not Latino! Not Hispanic! Not Mestizo! Not Raza! We are Red/Brown/Indigenous and not homogeneous! We have always been multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, and mixed and continue to be. Timexihcatl. We're Mexica. Mexican. Mexique. Mexicano. Meshicano. Chicano. Xicano. Xican@. We are original inhabitants of this continent! We didn't cross the borders, the borders crossed us! Native Americans, Mexis, Salvis, Chapines, Nicas, and other Indigenous populations are one people, from the northernmost tip of Alaska, to the southernmost tip of Tierra Del Fuego. It's time that we begin thinking as one people because there will not be Black and Brown unity until there is Red and Brown unity.

You cannot change the past but you can make the future, and anyone who tells you different is a Fucking lethargic devil...Porque sino entonces te mando por el carajo cabron gusano hijo de puta, seramos libre pronto, viva la revolucion, VIVA LA REVOLUCION! - Immortal Technique - Poverty Of Philosophy

Labeling Nican Tlaca "Latino/Hispanic", "Mestizo", or "Raza" is like labeling a Tibetan "Chinese" or a Jew "German". The crime of labels. Imagine the resentment this generates and how it can manifest itself right in your own backyard.
