Aztlan Origin and Ethnology Alfredo a Figueroa

Aztlán, the mystical place of origin for Mexican people has been a geographic, historical and spiritual home to millions of indigenous people of North America (Cemanahuac). According to Mexica codices and ancient oral history, this place of origin was located somewhere in Northwest Mexico or Southwest United States. Since the Spanish overthrow of the Mexica people in Mexico, Tenochtitlan on August 13, 1521 the Spaniards led by Hernan Cortes were intrigued with the rumors that they heard regarding a place called Aztlán, a land of many riches. Since that time, very little evidence has been found but in the hearts of the Chicano/Mexica indigenous, the existence of this earthly paradise is not a fantasy, myth, nor theory, but a geographic reality. This landmark work of a native of the Palo Verde Valley has revealed the location of Aztlán, the origin of the Mexica creation story. He has uncovered the blatant lies that have been passed on for centuries, first by the Spanish invaders, then by the Mexican historians and researchers. This book is a must for anyone that wants to know the truth of why humans are here on earth. The author, Alfredo Acosta Figueroa is a historian, Chemehuevi sacred sites Tribal monitor, former organizer of the UFW and staunch environmentalist. He has made it his life's work to uncover the secrets that are revealed in his book Aztlan Origins and Ethnology.
