WHY MEXICA?
(meh-shee-kah)
Even though our people are today divided by borders, forced relocations, lies, and ignorance, our people have in fact been historically united for thousands of years as part of Anahuac---by blood, culture, languages, and a shared heritage. We are united across the false borders of the "United States", Mexico, and "Central America." This includes areas where we live, where we once lived, and areas from which we were removed by Europeans.
We are also a part of the Mexica civilization of great cities, which was our last great civilization before the European invasion of Anahuac. The Europeans destroyed Mexica society by ethnocide. The Mexica people were destroyed, but Mexica culture has survived in us collectively; and that is why we embrace Mexica identity---it is a way of saying, "You Europeans may have destroyed our Mexica brothers and sisters, but we the people of Anahuac have collectively embraced them as our ideal. They are the vanguard leading us to the reconstruction of our nation---they live through us today!"
MEXICA is the name of our last great civilization. The Mexica left us vast amounts of written knowledge from which we can collectively rebuild our Anahuac nation. Mexica is our collective identity because Mexica is the only study basis from which we can realistically reconstruct ourselves as a united Anahuac nation. We can be Mexica while still keeping our Zapotec, Shoshone, Pipil, Purepecha, Yaqui (Yoeme), Hopi, Mixtec, Otomi, Maya, and all other of our cultures and civilizations, and be PART OF THE MEXICA HERITAGE that will liberate all of Anahuac.
We are the Mexica culture, the Nican Tlaca people, and the Anahuac Nation.
Before the European acts of terrorism, piracy, and genocide began, the majority of our people lived in the great cities and large towns of what was then the blossoming heart of the magnificent urban civilizations of Anahuac.
The Mexica were the cultural leaders of our civilizations, and the inheritors of an ancient civilization that began with our Olmec civilization of about 2300 B.C. This Olmec Mother-Father civilization of ours came to the Valley of Mexico (in central Mexico) and gave birth to what became Tlatilco, Cuicuilco, Teotihuacan, The Toltecs, and finally the Mexica civilization.
The surviving Mexica books, chronicles, known history, philosophy and theology (excluding the ignorant or racist interpretations and distortions) are the only solid and realistic means by which we will be able to reconstruct and liberate our Anahuac nation.
The Mexica Movement is the only movement that is leading our people in the direction of LIBERATION THROUGH ANAHUAC EDUCATION.
