Mexicayotl

Mexicayotl focuses on our own cultural-historical lens through which we can interpret and analyze life, achieved by critically analyzing history through the indigenous perspective. We call this ongoing study of ourselves Mexihcayotl*, Nahuatl etymology: mexihcatl (Mexican) + the suffix yotl (state of, condition of, quality of being).
