Revisionist history with a pretty obvious political agenda.

Let's spread the word that Aztlan was in Guatemala.

[Arkinsaw]

Modern day Mexicans are primarily the descendants of the original conquerors of the Aztecs. Odd that they are claiming the banner of the Aztecs as if they and the Aztecs are one and the same ("La Raza").

My sister and her family live in Utah. I guess they better start packing. ( one way or the other )

fyi

University of Utah ethnic studies professor Armando Sol-rzano . . . .

No axe to grind here! < /sarcasm>

Maybe they can go to Mexico City, since the Aztecs have no native claim to it, apparently, and are morally required to abandon it.

As a Mexican American, Rodriguez long had pondered the historical location of Aztlan...........

What the h--- was a Mexican American in the 1700s?

[mamelukesabre]

Exactly what I was thinking the whole time I read this artical.

Mexicans come from mexico. They are not ancient proto-ute-aztec indians. Mexicans speak a european language for chrissakes and are catholics!!!

[Klunk]

Outmanned and Outgunned yet those soldiers still KICKED ASS. I'll give the mexicans a week to takeover the Southern United States and i'm being generous.

[Mudbug]

Acting upon a command from a spirit, these people left Aztlan and went south until they came upon an eagle devouring a serpent in the present-day location of Mexico City

Interesting notion - claiming that property was abandoned to prove ownership.

>Maybe they can go to Mexico City

Eye corumba !!

Bump!

(I read this book, The Zuni Enigma, and according to Nancy, the Japanese moved in just behind the Anastasi. Expect the Japanese to show up next)

The Zuni Enigma

A Native American People's Possible Japanese Connection Did a group of thirteenth-century Japanese merge with the people, language, and religion of the Zuni tribe?

For many years, anthropologists have understood the Zuni in the American Southwest to occupy a special place in Native American culture and ethnography. Their language, religion, and blood type are startlingly different from all other tribes. Most puzzling, the Zuni appear to have much in common with the people of Japan.

In a book with groundbreaking implications, Dr. Nancy Yaw Davis examines the evidence underscoring the Zuni enigma and suggests the circumstances that may have led Japanese on a religious quest—searching for the legendary "middle world" of Buddhism—across the Pacific to the American Southwest more than seven hundred years ago. 72 b/w illustrations, 17 maps.

"A stunning and carefully supported argument that should stir useful discussion.... [An] exciting, groundbreaking work."—Booklist

Nancy Yaw Davis holds an M.A. from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Washington. She lives in Anchorage, Alaska.

An exciting, groundbreaking work

Seems like the history books when I was in school talked about a land bridge over the Bering Strait and that the American continent was originally settled by nomadic tribes from Asia. Seems like the theory said the tribes were pushed further south as subsequent waves came in and displaced them. I can't see all the hoopla, but I guess folks will rationalize their claims with anything handy.

Here is a bit of History to reflect on...


and I'm sure that the NAACP, AL and Jessie are refelcting on Stone Mountain even as I type this

Me too but, that has changed a lot and gotten a lot more complicated....and I mean real complicated.
