The Mexicana / Aztecs
http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/CIVAMRCA/AZTECS.HTM
The term, Aztec, is a startlingly imprecise term to describe the culture that dominated the Valley of Mexico in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
Properly speaking, all the Nahua-speaking peoples in the Valley of Mexico were Aztecs, while the culture that dominated the area was a tribe of the Mexica (pronounced "me-shee-ka") called the Tenochca ("te-noch-ka").

This site is divided into six main sections; Ideas, Links, Resources, Information, Hands-on and Feedback. Click on the icons on the left of this page to get to any section; or use the links at the bottom of each page.
