Please reblog for a bigger sample size!
If you have any fun fact about the Aztec Empire, please tell us and I'll reblog it!
Be respectful in your comments. You can criticize a government without offending its people.
*Also known as "Tarascan Empire", but that is considered offensive by Purépacha people.

“LA GRAN CAPITAL PURÉPECHA” 🙌🏼💪🏼
Durante la historia del México prehispánico, fueron muy pocos los pueblos que pudieron igualarse militarmente a los mexicas, hubieron muy pocos pueblos que fueron capaces de resistir el poderío de su ejército, los purépechas son uno de ellos, ya que debido a su localización geográfica y su organización militar fueron capaces de impedir el acceso mexica a sus tierras.
A los pies del imponente Lago de Pátzcuaro se encuentra la ciudad de Tzintzuntzan, la cual fue la ciudad más importante entre los purépechas, tomó tanta importancia este centro que posteriormente se convirtió en su capital. Si te preguntas que significa el nombre de la capital, es bastante sencillo y a la vez hermoso, Tzintzuntzan significa “Aquel lugar donde habitan los colibríes”. La organización de la ciudad está hecha para que sea todo un reto para cualquier ejército lograr atravesar sus imponentes cerros, sus grandes murallas y por si fuera poco, su bien trazada ciudad hecha de tal manera que el que estuviera arriba siempre tenía una gran ventaja contra su rival. ¿La han visitado?

This is Xupakata! (pronounced Shoo-Pah-Kah-Tah)
He is Indigenous, specifically Purépecha, and is trilingual in Purépecha, Spanish, and English. His name means "rainbow" in Purépecha. 🌈
Xupakata is transgender and is also Indigiqueer. He has ADHD and Tourettes. The weird expression he's doing on the right is one of his tics, where he has to twitch and crack his neck. (he's grimacing cuz it hurts.)
Xupa is very passionate, spontaneous, and proud. He can be arrogant, stubborn, and a petty bitch. He always argues and speaks up, especially if he senses an injustice.
Xupakata's wardrobe is a genderpunk statement: he dresses "feminine" and "masculine" in his Purépecha, Mexican, and American cultures. Basically, he wears whatever the fuck he wants.
Xupa is very dear to me and I'm going to be sick if I keep him in my head all the time so here he is! Hopefully I'll draw him more 🤞🏽

"My father, root of my blood, do not let weakness and fear stop the warrior spirit of our eagles from flying. Our men cannot abandon their desire to defend these lands so our children may live in the eternal garden of happiness that our gods promised. May the hand that will stop the enemy not be weak and never desire to press in friendship those hands that have been washed with the blood of our brothers."
- Erendira (who became a symbol of indigenous resistance when she led the Purépecha uprising against the Spanish invaders).
From Feathered Serpent Dark Heart of Sky Myths of Mexico by David Bowles

Before the day is over, for international vexillology day, i would like to share the flag of the purepecha of Michoacan Mexico
Tumblr media
created as a sign of defiance after a series of anti-indigenous murders in the 80's, the words read "our strength" in the purepecha language. After doing some family research, i learned my great-grandparents would've still spoken purepecha as their first language, but were forced to abandon the language and culture as anti-indigenous violence spread through Mexico in the 50's and 60's. As i learn more about my family's history and heritage i hope to share more of it here too.
