Are Mexican really related to American indians meaning those Indians who once lived in what is now considered America migrated and became the Olmecs, Incas, Myans, Tultecs, and Aztecs? should they be put into Mexican reservations like the American indians? who should the American indians be given the all the privileges of the Mexicans? whats your take on this?
credit ______________________________________________________ There is no Aztec nation, like there is a Cherokee Nation, Seminole Nation, Iroquois Nation, etc so on. No reservations, no tribal councils, no cultural ties to current day people, thankfully no one carrying out old rituals. :) The civilizations of the Olmecs, Incas, Myans, Tultecs, and Aztecs have always fascinated me. The Aztecs to a lesser extent because they were so heavy into human sacrifice, sacrificing 500 or more people per day, and when times were "too" peaceful and there was no war going on to get prisoners to sacrifice, they would have games between rival "towns", with clubs used to render "participants" unconscious, but not kill them, thanks to the absence of spikes or obsidian blades, so they could be "captured" and sacrificed in the coming days. The "dedication" of Aztec "temples" (pyramids) would frequently involved the sacrifice of at least 1,000 live humans in a days, so the steps literally flowed with blood.
