STOP SAYING NICAN TLACA

Nican Tlaca doesn't mean what many people who wish to find decolonized identity think it means...in any modern varient of Náhuatl none of the speakers will fully understand what it is you're trying to say since nican tlaca literally just means "man here" they would look at you like you either need to go on about that man here or like...what about him? The correct way to say indigenous person in the Huastecan variant is

"macehualli" mass-eh-wall-ee

macehualli = indigenous person

Nimacehualli.= I’m an indigenous person.

Timacehualli.= You are an indigenous person.

Macehualli.= She/He is an indigenous person.

Timacehualmeh.=We are indigenous people.

Inmacehualmeh.= Yawl are indigenous people.

Macehualmeh.= They are indigenous people.

Lets begin to actually bring our first langauge Nahuatl speaking family into the conversation of identity and make more use of the language as they use it not for our own personal gains.

The journey to self acceptance has been a turbulent ride. I’ve lost the people I love the most when gaining my own acceptance for myself. But finally being able to fully understand that I am worthy of love and happiness, and learning there is nothing wrong me is something I wouldn’t trade for my families acceptance. Much love goes out to my trans/NB folk who are not able to be out around family, and those caught in the cross fire of religious trauma and healing from those scars. You are loved by so many, and you are valid. You are neither broken or wrong for being who you are. 🌸

Knowing you have Indigenous ancestry that is not from Central Mexico yet naming yourself or vowing to name your kids with Nahuatl names is a big slap to your non-Nahua ancestors.

Promoting Nahuatl names instead of promoting people name themselves/their children from their individual cultures is just another form of Mexican hegemony.

I am LENCA.

I have a question. There's the saying of "Nican Tlaca" to refer to the indigenous folk, but is that that correct? Just finished reading an article in where it describes it to be incorrect in what it's actual meaning is. They go on to claim it would be more correct to be labeled, "Nican Titlaca". So, what is the correct meaning - way - of this word/phrase?

Nican or nikan means here.

tlacah or tlakah means people.

The literal translation is "here the people" which is referring to the people from there, in reference to the local people.

Macehualli or masewalli mean indigenous person. Here are some ways you can use this word:

Nimacehualli / nimasewalli = I'm an indigenous person

Timacehualmeh / Timasewalmeh = We are indigenous people

Macehualmeh / Masewalmeh = they are indigenous people

Started following you awesome blog want to follow more. Wonder what your take is on what I should do. I’m adopted from Guatemala and have maya blood as well as mix of other central and South Americans. I feel lost and disconnected from my culture and I want to learn more. It’s only in recent years I even came to conclusion natives in America are just family to those in central, south, and North America. My parents saw me and native here as separate. I want to reconnect with othersbut don’t know.

I recommend you take it one step at a time, reconnection is a very long process that takes time, understanding, and a lot of learning. That means learning the history of Guatemala or other countries you’re from, the Indigenous groups you may be related to, their culture, languages, and beginning to form a personal solidarity with them. You’re free to connect with all of us in native spaces, even if we aren’t Central American, while you’re in the process of reconnecting and searching as long as you are a listener. The Maya are a group that have multiple different peoples within them, and there are other large groups with different cultures and dialects within them too.

My biggest concern is to be aware, when you are researching, of people who say they are specific terms and spread a pan-Indigenous ideology. People involved with revivalist movements or fake registeries such as Nican Tlaca, Mexica Movement, Eastern Métis, Northern Cherokee, Jatibonicu Taino, and more should be avoided interaction with. You can safely reconnect by talking to people you can learn to trust here and by finding sources online, if you are able to travel someday and see, that would be amazing! Not all of us can, so the most we can do is look out for you. Just know I support you—if you find reconnecting is too difficult as an adoptee, it is okay to honor your ancestry instead.

@cristalgema EXACTLY & tbh even when it's not explicitly taboo or contentious within the community on its own (I've known lotsssss of white latinxs & mestizx/mestizx passing latinxs who act like ant-iblackness & anti-indigeneity aren't ~real~ in l.america, or ppl who have straight up told me "oh there were never any indios in this country it was completely unsettled when we came here" no??? …or who like Refuse to discuss this construct of "latinidad" as a nationalist erasure & silencing of real racial issues)

you then also get non latinxs who like just. cannot. comprehend. the most basic. shit. like nationality vs. region vs. race vs. ethnicity… I wish I had a dollar for every person who's tried to say sth to me about "latin hair," or how "latin culture" is (yk… the One latin culture), and "are you 100% hispanic?" and you KNOW what they THINK they mean but you know that THEY don't even know what they THINK they think they mean…

and who try to talk over you with it… while u also just KNOW IN YOUR GUTS some of these dummies are also like "build the wall!!! but only against Illegals sweetie :))) those mexicans not you :)))" when it's like ok I know Lots of panamanians & dominicans who y'all for real hate & THINK OF as mexican before deporting them, even with your scarface poster up on the wall, but like aight ok then… work…

it's Exhausting & tbh I don't trust non latinxs with latinx characters in general, on top of an intracommunity vetting process lol… so whenever obviously non latinx ppl not only write an oc or pick up a canon latinx character to write with or rp as, but then want to SPECIFICALLY talk (argue) about race/ethnicity so that they can play make believe, it's just. easier to block them instead of breaking out the whole college lecture series bc I don't need that shit fucking with my blood pressure lmao.

#cristalgema #replies #tbh even among native & black iding latinxs stuff gets MUDDY & FAST…#like everytime i see ppl iding as azteca or maya or nican tlaca mexica mov't. stuff i f e e l myself age 1000 years #and the less said about zoe saldana as nina simone & her commentary on race relations in hollywood the better…#but it's still better than having to explain to white ppl how like ''my family has not been spanish first language in 3 generations…''#and trying to resist being like ''my family's literally been here longer than yours'' while they get that Sad Face on about yr fam ~losing #their heritage~ when you're like ''actually the assimilation was forced on us by y'all AND by our heritage country so Thanks 🙄''#like at least in community i can be like ''you're an asshole'' & dip but the other thing takes ALL DAMN DAY… WHO has time for that shit!!!#latinidad

PSA

Gonna speak for myself and only for myself first and foremost. If you find something in this that’s for you, feel free to identify with it. If you don’t find something here for yourself, then it isn’t for you.

In case it isn’t clear, the person who runs pics of shiro, keith and sheith blogs is Mexican (Nican Tlaca/latinx, I use all these terms for myself), queer (biromantic, demisexual, trans with he/they pronouns), autistic and affected by scoliosis that will only get worse as I age if I don’t take care of it with careful maintenance. In case people have trouble believing who OP is (@Firewindmill aka me, Nemo) — know that all my pics of blogs are side-blogs and I specifically chose to remove my main avatar from the side-blogs because that’s my choice provided to me by this website — it gives the idea that these are all professional looking main blogs. Occasionally this may become apparent that they are side-blogs when I make a mistake and reblog something to these blogs intended for my main blog but I try to delete them quickly to amend my mistake, and some of you have kindly told me when I do and I appreciate it, I am an imperfect human being after all.

I want to speak to the entitlement and oppressive actions that people seem to have in online spaces simply because the space is public. I’ll go into that under the cut.

Because of what happened over on my blog pics of Keith, I’ll be focusing on that, but the overall sentiments are the same for all the blogs I administrate, including those working with me.

I headcanon that Keith is biracial/mixed race (I think of him as mixed asian/latinx), queer, trans and autistic. He doesn’t have to be for you but he is for me and for many other people, not always at once and sometimes people relate differently to his character based on their own perceived experiences that I can’t relate to but I don’t go on people’s posts to derail/hijack it. That’s what my own blog is for, to make my own posts and create my own content. Some of you may have enjoyed or seen my answer to an anonymous user about trans!keith headcanons. I chose to answer it with “headcanons” because it’s not necessarily canon, perhaps even the evidence is weak on why I think something is the way it is for a character — but sometimes headcanons are completely baseless and people just say ridiculous things to be funny, to have fun, have a laugh but the end point is to feel good, and for trans headcanons, it’s to find something in someone that we see in ourselves and make us feel good. If anyone has a problem with trans!keith, haven’t you heard? There’s a blacklist option now on tumblr and for mobile so if that ruins the character for you then use it and blacklist it so I don’t have to see your comments shitting on people who like it. (Meanwhile, to any followers who see that post, it’s up to you to also block those users, a lot of them are transmedicalists/right wingers etc and are overall have this entitled attitude. Do not engage the way I did, that’s my job and I do it professionally.)

With that, just because a website/blog is public, doesn’t mean that etiquette ceases to exist. My analogy is that I’ve opened my backyard for 24 hours for people to check out my garden. Here, I chill in my hammock, sniff the flowers, observe birds at the birdfeeder at a distance. My rules include people not overwhelming the hammock and taking turns, people not picking flowers or destroying them because they don’t “like” them, and people maintaining a distance from the birdfeeder to not scare off the birds. It’d also be nice that people pick up after themselves if they make a mess etc common sense stuff.

So let’s say someone pulls their pants down, takes a shit.

Pretty gross right? Well its my right to kick them out because it’s still my yard. I don’t have to take abusive behavior in a public or private space.

Another good example is this restaurant analogy on twitter, it’s a good read if you have time for it.

It should go without saying that I will never ever let bigotry in any form be perpetuated on my posts and I will rarely reblog my responses to the pics of blogs except to my main so that they exist in prosperity for the most part in a public venue as receipts. I will not be gaslighted, and even take screenshots for my own protection because these are public blogs. Because I’m Mexican and literally moderate several pages online to ban bigoted user comments from pages, comments that seek to silence marginalized voices of people of color, I use the tools at my disposal, the wonderful block button to control who interacts with me and my audience that enjoys the specific brand of fan experience that I provide with my unique personality. People have been thankful for how safe they feel to express themselves because of it, and my life mission has been to amplify voices less heard, including my own.

Because I’m Mexican, I seek to decolonize myself daily and analyze my behavior to deconstruct anti-blackness within myself, and shed any homophobia and transphobia, to confront misinformation and reblog posts by people affected by their own unique issues while not speaking over them or adding unnecessary commentary. Because I’m queer, I will not ever make fun of people for seeing themselves in fictional characters, nor let homophobia or transphobia be perpetuated on any of my posts either, whether it’s from other trans people deciding what other trans folks do or don’t do, or from cis people, I don’t let it slide. And because I’m autistic, I won’t let ableism slide, I won’t let people speak badly about any other issues or headcanons based on disabilities whether mental or physical. I won’t let anyone come between me and the communities I’m in to divide us with their terf/truscum rhetoric either.

I want people that follow my blogs to see that I am active in what I claim to be my values, which is why you see the evidence on my main blog that I walk the walk and not just talk. I want people who have recently followed my blogs and don’t know me to know where I stand so they either feel reassured or can take a hike if they don’t — I’m not here to recruit for a club, I’m just a fan curating my fan experience, MY way, and you either like it or you don’t but you don’t control what I say, think, or do. I don’t need you.

That’s all I’ve got to say for now.

Gangsta ?

I saw a young, slender Mexiáno man, all tatted up arms/neck, shorts low on his hips & bandana on his brow. He was in a McDonald's eating & playfully interacting with two toddlers running back/forth from the indoor play area. Other people seemed afraid of him so, I walked up and said . . . "I love how you and your kids enjoy life" He looked at me with surprise then smiled, as I walked away

Book 1 - The Gods - Appendix - Fourteenth Chapter

Florentine Codex Fridays to go with Maya Glyph Mondays?

Fourteenth Chapter

The wood is good; it is required; it is God’s creation. Many things are made of it: of it are made the houses in which we live, and of it are made the boats with which there is the gaining of a livelihood. For these reasons the wood of which is made what we require, what we gain our livelihoods with, is greatly to be valued.

A. But the wood used for idolatry is worthy of being accursed. And he who [so] maketh it, carveth it, is indeed unhappy, indeed to be accursed, even as the wood itself. And the wood-carver must needs to be exceedingly accursed because he made that which was not required, which was a great confusion to men. And the wood, greatly required, shall also be accursed, because it is only wood and is worshipped as an idol.

B. And God, our Lord, greatly abhorreth both the idolater and idolatry: him who began idolatry and him who liveth in idolatry. Both will forever be in torment in the land of the dead.

C. These, the demonds, were the cause of idolatry. For never will God, have mercy upon them. And although they are God’s creatures, they must needs be abhorred, accursed, for they are deceivers, tricksters, confusers of men.

D. Those who first introduced idolatry [and] idols dishonored and offended God; thereby they angered God, for thus were very many confused. When the world began, none lived as idolaters; and before the world shall end, idolatry will perish.

E. The witless, the senseless began idolatry here upon earth. But because of their wickedness they suddenly died.

F. Behold how the wicked, the men of little understanding, began idolatry. There lived the son of a man who was ruler, his only son, his youth, whom he loved much. And the youth died. And his father was much saddened thereby; he wept much, he grieved much. And then he commanded that a representation of his beloved son be made, carved of wood or stone. He rigorously commanded the woodcarver to make a true image of him, so that it would be like the painted image of his son. When the representation was done, then he set it up in a good place; there he worshipped it. Then he commanded the people of his household to worship it, and to lay offerings before it – to offer it paper, copal [incense], flowers.

G. And in years following the ruler commanded all his vassals to worship the representation of his son and to lay offerings before it. Thus it was that idolatry began.

A. Behold another manner by which idolatry began. Some made representations of those whom they loved who lived in far places. And because they lived in far places, [because] they could not see their bodies, their representations gave them comfort. And they paid them honor, and either the ruler or a noblewoman laid offerings before them.

B. And the painters very carefully painted the representations. Very marvelously, very well they made the representations. Thus they tempted men; thus there was the worship of idols.

C. The painter, or the woodcarver, or the lapidary, or the goldworker, since he greatly wished to quiet doubts, brought it about that what he made was even better than the flesh from which was molded, from which was taken, the representation. The better he formed the representation, the more he confused men.

D. Very many commoners, luckless men, who saw that the representation was very subtly, very carefully made, worshipped it. They thought it was a god. The representation only confused them because it was subtly, carefully made.

E. In this manner were men on earth confused. For because of love or because of honor paid men, they defamed godliness. The previous name of God, which belongeth only to God, they thus gave as name to the representation in stone, in wood.

F. The confusions of the idolaters were not one but many. The confusions arose, lived in idolatry. These [men] thought they were content, but it was in a great war that they lived.

G. These idolaters slew their songs before their gods. And by night they did many things before their gods which sicken and anger one. All their acts, their lives, all were vicious, filthy. They hated one another; they slew one another, they committed adultery one with another. Murder, robbery, adultery, trickery, public disorders, contentions spread everywhere. None saw to gratitude, to chastity. Incontinence, vice, filth were verily the idolaters’ way of life.

A. Idolatry is much to be loathed. Its beginning, its start, and its end are in everything evil, improper. And all which is loathsome and confusion, all liveth in, issueth from idolatry.

B. The idolaters, when they take their pleasure, are as if drunk; they become maddened; they talk as if drunk.

C. The idolaters, when they put faith in the favor of their gods, do not esteem them. They speak ill of them; they have no fear of them; for they have no souls.

D. Many such things come to pass among the idolaters. Not without cause doth God, the only God, abominate them. But they greatly honor their false gods. And they are much given to false oaths in order to deceive one. But they esteem no true justice.

E. Oaths should not be habitual. Those who often call upon His holy name commit a sin. It is not required that His holy name be called upon twice, for the reason that it is great; it is greatly required. He who falsely calleth upon His holy name committeth a sin. It shall be his last sin.

Olin Tezcatlipoca: Director Mexica Movement Nican Tlaca Nation “OUR COSMOLOGY had nothing to do with morality, religion, or "gods": it was all about a scientific understanding of the universe. We have had a lot of Eurocentric misunderstandings imposed on us on the manners and minds of our ancestors. The worst of these libels and slanders is that of characterizing the scientific genius minds of our ancestors with their Eurocentric small-minded misunderstanding our Nican Tlaca science. They insist on their "gods" idea of our ancestors' cosmology. It distorts and dumbs down all of our understandings of science. This willful ignorance is the worst shit that they have smeared on our heritage. Our cosmology, our understandings of Creation, and of Our Creator, were an extremely complex scientific understanding of our Universe. That science was written over thousands of years, using many forms of writing, art, architecture, and an education system that to this day is difficult for European minds to understand. This includes our own present-day Colonized European-operated minds. I've done over 50 years of study on the cosmology of our ancestors and I still don't fully understand it. Yet, there are people who skimmed through one or two Eurocentric New Age books and suddenly they FULLY understand our cosmology, calling it "our religion (beliefs)", "our gods", and other nonsense. This dumbing down of the genius of our ancestors explains why we remain essentially in a FULLY COLONIZED STATE OF ONGOING GENOCIDE.” Double tap and tag your friends #Mexicamovement #Mexica #nicantlaca #nodapl #mexicans #Cemanahuac #anahuac #firstnations #olmecs #olmec #indigenous #indigenouspride #native #natives #nativeamerican #nativeamericans #latino #hispanics #nothispanic #notlatino #decolonize #colonialism #Aztecs #aztec #latinos #latinas #hispanic #olintezcatlipoca #latinxs #nicantlacanation

Many times this layer of our colonialism is hard to detect because we assume that decolonization is only race deep and we forget to declutter centuries of distortions regarding our various gender identities. Many times, we as Nican Tlaca women also internalize machismo and normalize it without question. The biggest lesson I learned in 2017 was that i could not excuse the behavior of my brothers at the expense of my own dignity. Decolonization is a multi-layered process and requires us to really challenge ourselves at all levels. All of this is easier said than done but we must begin these conversations. Our liberation struggles must work diligently to dismantle these euro ideologies of self-oppression. We are a beautiful people, let's help eachother detox. #nicantlacawomenwarriors #nicantlaca #anahuac #cemanahuac #mexican #centralamerican #southamerican #nativeamerican #decolonize #genocide #notlatino #nothispanic #notlatinx #notraza #latino #hispanic #mestizo #mestizaje #laraza #raza #mexica #aztec #tawantinsuyu #culturalgenocide #deportations #ice #operationwetback #raza #notraza #notwhite #notmestizo #decolonize #brownpride" source: https://www.instagram.com/p/Behqnq3BrM5sbKEAR2GclWYQk0AVQpbRedjDro0/?taken-by=nicantlacawomanwarrior
