@daswarkeinhuhn I'm sorry that I don't know what name the Native Peoples used for it (probably many, depending on the language spoken), but meanwhile I suggest Gulf of Nahua, as that seems to be the group with the largest coastline.

Comunicado de la comunidad indígena Nahua de Cuentepec, Morelos
"En esta asamblea de los pueblos reconocimos qué solo el pueblo puede decidir el futuro de su territorio el cual ha defendido y preservado como territorio ancestral ante cualquier empresa minera qué quiera destruirlo, ejerciendo nuestra libre determinación como pueblos indígenas contando con sistemas normativos autónomos".
Indigenous Nahuas in Ostula launch actions in defense of their communal territory.

Amaya in a skirt
My fursona in a traditional Nahua (Pipil) outfit. The Nahua (or Pipil) are an indigenous group of Mesoamerican people inhabiting what is now western and central El Salvador, from whom I am partly a descendant. 🇸🇻
I originally meant for this line art to form the base of a reference sheet. Around that time I got the idea of showing my fursona in a dress, so I attempted to draw my fursona in a traditional Nahua outfit. Nahua skirts are often very finely patterned so cut me some slack.
Now over a year since then I’ve decided to shelve that whole first attempt for a fresh start with better knowledge, better references, and thinner lines. I feel dumb for even sharing this but I figured since I made the effort, I might as well share it.

Un manuscrit rare du XVIe siècle, le Codex Florentin, qui documente l'histoire et la culture du #Mexique, est désormais accessible en ligne grâce au projet du #Getty Research Institute. Ce #manuscrit de 2500 pages, écrit au XVIe siècle par Bernardino de Sahagún, en collaboration avec le peuple #Nahua, offre des aperçus détaillés sur la vie quotidienne, l'astronomie, la flore et la faune de la région, ainsi que la période de la conquête espagnole.
Tlacochcalcatl, "The man from the house of darts", the senior military rank of Triple Alliance, basically a four star general or field marshal of modern armies
His costume is a "venegeful spirit" that would spell doom for enemies, and possibly a humanity. Acrylics, watercolors and markers on paper.
[ES] El #Códice #Florentino Digital da acceso a un manuscrito singular creado por el fraile franciscano Bernardino de Sahagún en colaboración con un grupo de autores y artistas #nahuas. Escrito en columnas paralelas con textos en náhuatl y español y pintado a mano con casi 2.500 imágenes, el códice enciclopédico está ampliamente considerado como la fuente de información más fiable sobre la cultura mexicana, el imperio #azteca y la conquista de #México. Una vez terminado en 1577 en el Colegio Imperial de la Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco (actual Ciudad de México), el manuscrito se envió a Europa, donde entró a formar parte de la biblioteca de la familia #Médicis en Florencia: el Códice Florentino. Esta edición digital desvela el contenido del manuscrito al permitir la búsqueda de textos e imágenes.
[EN] The Digital #Florentine #Codex gives access to a singular manuscript created by Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún and a group of #Nahua elders, authors, and artists. Written in parallel columns of Nahuatl and Spanish texts and hand painted with nearly 2,500 images, the encyclopedic codex is widely regarded as the most reliable source of information about Mexica culture, the #Aztec Empire, and the conquest of Mexico. Upon completion in 1577 at the Imperial Colegio de la Santa Cruz in Tlatelolco (today Mexico City), the manuscript was sent to Europe where it entered the #Medici family’s library in Florence—thus, the Florentine Codex. This digital edition unlocks the manuscript’s content by making the texts and images searchable.

#Mexico: Land, territory and #environmental #defenders are being criminalized for exercising their right to #protest
September 13, 2023
"The disproportionate use of criminal law is one of the main threats facing the right to protest peacefully in defense of land, territory and environment in Mexico, Amnesty International said today upon publishing a new report. Mexico: Land and Freedom? Criminalizing defenders of land, territory and environment documents the disproportionate use of the justice system to deter, punish and prevent defenders from protesting in demand of their rights.
"The disproportionate use of the criminal justice system against protesters forms part of a broader strategy of disincentivizing and dismantling advocacy for land, territorial and environmental rights. It is alarming to see that Mexico ranks among the countries with the highest number of murders of environmental defenders and yet, far from the State addressing and preventing this violence, other serious human rights violations are also being committed such as stigmatization, harassment, attacks, assaults, forced displacement and disappearances, said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas director at Amnesty International.
"This report focuses on four cases: (i) Colonia Maya in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, where a diverse group of people came together to protest against the construction of residential housing in a protected area where it would cause #environmental damage; (ii) #Zacatepec, where Miguel and Alejandro, #Nahua communicators and defenders, opposed the construction of a drain in Ciudad Industrial Huejotzingo, Puebla, that would flow into the Metlapanapa River, polluting it; iii) Chilón, #Chiapas, where César and José Luis, Tseltal defenders, were criminalized for opposing the construction of a National Guard barracks in their territory; iv) Sitilpech, Yucatán, where residents such as Jesús Ariel, Arturo and Juan Diego are opposing the activities of a mega pig farm in their territory because of the #pollution, water contamination and health problems it is causing.
"The disproportionate use of the criminal justice system against protesters forms part of a broader strategy of disincentivizing and dismantling advocacy for land, territorial and environmental rights.
"Criminal prosecution and stigmatization
"Our report highlights the use of vague or ambiguous offences that ignore the principle of legality, such as rioting, obstruction of public works and variations on the offence of attacks on roadways. It was also noted that events occurring during protests have been conveniently adapted to fit other crimes through broad interpretations of criminal offences and statements that misrepresent the facts. The accusations are largely fabricated on the basis of statements made by public servants and company workers directly related to the events being denounced by the communities. There is no hard evidence in any of the criminal files that would enable any crime to be established.
#AmnestyInternational observed some alarming similarities in these cases. The complaints filed are overwhelmingly directed at people who are considered leaders, or those who are most visible in the protest movements, and they are being prosecuted for vague offences, without hard evidence and solely on the basis of their peaceful actions. The proceedings often drag on for various reasons, and there is a constant worry that cases could be revived or new crimes fabricated.
"Criminal proceedings against defenders are intended as a deterrent to others advocating for the same causes as it leads them to fear that their legitimate demands may end in stigmatization, repression or threats to their lives and safety. While we’ve observed the hope and dignity of some who are being unjustly criminalized when they enjoy the support of their communities, we’ve also seen others who have decided to abandon the struggle to demand their rights, said Edith Olivares Ferreto, executive director of Amnesty International Mexico.
"Differential impacts of state pressure
"These processes are often accompanied by a stigmatization of defenders and serious problems for their security and physical and mental health. This situation also affects their legal representatives and people who support them on an ongoing basis. The use of the criminal justice system against those who dissent or speak out in relation to local government projects and #corporate interests takes place without consequence and with complete impunity. Other violations that occur in the context of protests have also not been investigated, such as violations of the right to liberty and security of defenders, as well as the excessive use of force.
"The unjust #criminalization of defenders who protest peacefully has both individual and collective impacts. Some of the most common effects on an individual level are physical, psychological and economic, such as illness, physical pain as a result of blows received, fear, anxiety, sleeping difficulties, stress, impotence, feelings of injustice at what has happened to them, and effects on their work defending their rights.
"Collective impacts include the intimidation or repression of demands for rights to land, territory and the environment among people advocating for the same causes.
"The unjust criminalization of #HumanRights defenders draws attention away from the root causes and challenges facing land, territory and environmental defenders. The right to protest must be handled in such a way that recognizes that punishing those involved in social conflicts generally only exacerbates the problem rather than resolving the substance of the issue. Defenders’ demands must be properly heard and analysed and their right to protest guaranteed.
"Amnesty International’s report offers a number of general recommendations for addressing the disproportionate use of the criminal justice system against protesters, in addition to other recommendations specific to the cases documented in the report. Among the former, the authorities must recognize the valuable work done by land, territory and environmental defenders; refrain from stigmatizing them; guarantee their participation in issues affecting their communities; strengthen the Protection Mechanism for Human Rights Defenders and Journalists; and refrain from using militarized security forces, such as the National Guard, to monitor protests.
"Among its specific recommendations, Amnesty International calls on the state to immediately cease the criminalization of protest and to properly investigate the human rights violations in the cases documented in the report in order to ensure that the defenders receive full reparations.
"The report accompanies the launch of the campaign #ProtestarNoEsUnCrimen, which seeks to raise awareness of the problem of the unjust criminalization of human rights defenders and its impact on the defence of land, territory and the environment."

Instituciones del Estado mexicano y criminales orquestan múltiple embestida contra Ostula
this a #nahua lyric #poem and #song called " #flower #mage " from the #book "flower, #song and dance" otherwise known as the Cantares Mexicanos.
It is said be about #sex, but some lines confuse me when reading it like that.
I know flower is sometimes used instead of vagina, so this is believable.
I know this is technically a song when it needs music and dance, but way too many times it gets called a poem.
Is it sensitive media? I cant tell lol.

This is a #guide on #aztec #corn casting, from a 1970s #anthropology #book on modern #nahua community beliefs I have lost a while ago.
It is used for #divination and its most famous use is by #doctors to predict the outcome of their treatment, which #Sahagun called #witchcraft in #Mexican #history.
Ill share it with other #histodons and #witches because I am scared of losing it. I lost the book so I can't make another.
