    Rebirth of an Aztec Codex

    There are some stories from Mesoamerican history that, when you first hear them, sound almost too good to be true. Take for example, the Tonalamatl Aubin. Now, for those not familiar, the story goes like this: a sacred Indigenous calendar survives the destruction of the Spanish invasion, vanishes into European collections where it gets passed from collector to collector, and eventually ends up sitting in a French library thousands of miles from where it was made. Then, in 1982, a Mexican reporter walks into that library, presents fake credentials in order to examine the manuscript, and then promptly puts it in a briefcase and walks out with it, sparking an international incident.

    That would already make the Tonalamatl Aubin one hell of a story. I mean, Why hasn’t a movie been made about this incident? Someone, anyone, give me a budget and let’s fucking go.

    Well dear listeners, somehow the story of the Tonalamatl Aubin just got even more awesome.

    Throwback: Human Sacrifice!
    2026/09/03

    When people hear phrases like “human sacrifice” or “cannibalism” their minds don’t immediately jump to the Crusades, Rome, medieval Europe, or the Bible. They jump straight to brown skin, feathered headdresses, and temples drenched in blood. Type in a quick Google search for the phrase and Mesoamericans (the Mexika/Aztec, in particular) become humanity’s favorite villains. “Savage.” “Bloodthirsty.” “Barbaric.” And rest assured, this narrative didn’t just happen by accident. It was deliberately engineered.

  • THROWBACK: The Chicano Moratorium!

    THROWBACK: The Chicano Moratorium!
    2026/08/27

    Given the current climate here in Occupied America, we thought it would be worth taking a look at the Chicano Moratorium march of August 29, 1970. The event serves as a good example of how we organized as a community to speak out against an unjust war and the price our people paid fighting in it. This episode was originally released as a Premium (paid only) episode, but we wanted to give everyone a chance to check out our discussion. Enjoy!

  • Episode 107: Catarino Garza, Chicano Revolutionary!

    Episode 107: Catarino Garza, Chicano Revolutionary!
    2026/08/13
    As the sun slowly rose over the Rio Grande on September 15, 1891, Catarino Erasmo Garza stood on the Texas side of the border holding in his hands two objects that would come to define his life: a Winchester rifle and a revolutionary proclamation. For years Garza had fought the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz through his many newspapers and publications. Now he announced that he was laying down the pen and taking up arms. In the opening lines of his manifesto, he declared:"The last of the independent journalists today abandons the pen to seize the sword in defense of the people's rights."His proclamation denounced the destruction of the free press, political murder, fraudulent elections, and the concentration of land and power, while calling for constitutional government, free trade, and land reform in Mexico. Nearly twenty years before Francisco Madero launched the movement that became the Mexican Revolution, Garza had already identified the grievances that would eventually bring down the Díaz regime.Today, Garza remains largely absent from popular memory. His name never appears alongside revolutionary icons like Emiliano Zapata, Pancho Villa, or Francisco Madero, despite the fact that he articulated many of the democratic demands later associated with the Mexican Revolution. This is a shame, because Garza was more than a revolutionary soldier. He was an influential journalist, an international activist, and the likely publisher of El Chicano, a Spanish-language newspaper in San Antonio that may represent the earliest known printed use of the word Chicano as a positive political identity.

  • Episode 106: Channeling Quetzalcoatl!

    Episode 106: Channeling Quetzalcoatl!
    2026/08/06
    We Watched a White Woman "Channel" Quetzalcoatl... So You Don't Have ToCan someone really channel Quetzalcoatl? Or is it just another example of New Age spirituality borrowing from Indigenous traditions without understanding them?In this special bonus episode of Tales From Aztlantis, Kurly Tlapoyawa and Ruben Arellano Tlakatekatl sit down together in the same room for a live reaction to one of the strangest DVDs they've ever encountered: Quetzalcoatl Speaks, a 2010 presentation featuring self-described psychic and trance channeler Cindy Riggs, who claims to allow Quetzalcoatl to speak through her body.The episode begins after Ruben's visit to New Mexico, where the hosts spend the day exploring Petroglyph National Monument before Kurly talks about stumbling across the DVD at a free table outside a bookstore. Intrigued by the bizarre premise, they decide to watch it together with open minds, hoping for an interesting discussion of Mesoamerican philosophy, spirituality, or history. Instead, they find themselves witnessing nearly two hours of rambling New Age metaphysics, internet metaphors, energy fields, and vague spiritual jargon that bears little resemblance to anything found in Nahua sources.As the film unfolds, Cindy Riggs recounts her spiritual journey, claiming that an Aztec spirit guide named "Can" prepared her over decades to become a vessel for Quetzalcoatl. She describes psychic development, Reiki, hypnosis, past-life regression, remote viewing, energy healing, and eventually trance channeling before finally introducing the night's guest: Quetzalcoatl himself. The hosts examine each of these claims while comparing them to what is actually known about Nahua traditions and Indigenous spirituality.Once the "channeling" begins, however, the promised appearance of Quetzalcoatl quickly turns into a stream of generic New Age advice involving chakras, energy frequencies, internet service providers, multidimensional consciousness, extraterrestrials, and raising one's vibrational frequency. Rather than offering insights rooted in Nahua philosophy, language, or ceremony, the supposed Quetzalcoatl delivers what Kurly and Ruben describe as little more than motivational self-help mixed with technological metaphors.Throughout the commentary, the hosts balance humor with serious criticism. They discuss how Indigenous figures like Quetzalcoatl are frequently appropriated by modern spiritual movements, often stripped of their historical and cultural context in favor of universalized New Age beliefs. They also explore why so many sincere people are drawn to these movements, and how convincing performances can sometimes overshadow genuine scholarship and authentic Indigenous traditions.The conversation eventually broadens into a discussion of Western occultism, Helena Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, Jack Parsons, L. Ron Hubbard, psychedelic experimentation, Theosophy, and how some of these ideas eventually found their way into modern interpretations of Mexicayotl. While acknowledging that these topics deserve deeper research, Kurly and Ruben identify fascinating historical connections worth exploring in future episodes.Equal parts comedy, media criticism, and cultural commentary, this episode asks an important question: What happens when Indigenous traditions become detached from the people who created them?Topics DiscussedReviewing Quetzalcoatl Speaks (2010)Claims of trance channeling QuetzalcoatlNew Age spirituality and Indigenous appropriationPsychic mediums, Reiki, hypnosis, and energy healingQuetzalcoatl versus modern spiritual reinterpretationsWhy vague spiritual language can sound profoundThe commercialization of Indigenous traditionsTheosophy and Helena BlavatskyAleister Crowley and Western occultismJack Parsons, L. Ron Hubbard, and esoteric movementsPsychedelics, occultism, and historical speculationWhy historical context matters when discussing Nahua traditionsMemorable MomentsDiscovering the DVD on a free table outside a bookstoreWaiting nearly twenty minutes for Quetzalcoatl to finally "arrive"The hosts' disbelief when the ancient Feathered Serpent begins talking about internet service providersWondering why Quetzalcoatl never corrects the repeated mispronunciation of his own nameComparing the presentation to an infomercial, motivational seminar, and software terms and conditionsImagining what an actual Nahua philosophical discourse from Quetzalcoatl might have sounded like insteadFavorite Quotes"We tried to keep an open mind.""I would have been more impressed if he had just started speaking Classical Nahuatl.""What the hell are you talking about?""People will pay for anything.""The truth is like medicine.

    Episode 105: Who Owns Our DNA? W/ Joseph Yracheta! Pt. 2
    2026/07/30
    What happens when Indigenous DNA becomes the next frontier of resource extraction? In part two of this episode of Tales from Aztlantis, Kurly Tlapoyawa and Ruben Arellano Tlakatekatl are joined once again by Joe Yracheta, an Amerindigenous scientist of Purépecha and Rarámuri heritage and a leader with the Native BioData Consortium. Together, they explore one of the most pressing—and least discussed—issues facing Indigenous communities today: the fight for Indigenous data sovereignty.Joe explains how genetic information, biological samples, medicinal plants, and even traditional agricultural knowledge have become valuable commodities in the global biotechnology economy. The conversation traces the long history of colonial extraction from Indigenous peoples, showing how today's race to collect biodata follows the same patterns that once drove the exploitation of land, labor, and natural resources.The discussion examines how universities, pharmaceutical companies, and governments collect and use Indigenous genetic data, often under the promise of improving public health, only for that information to later be commercialized or repurposed without meaningful community consent. Joe shares examples involving the Havasupai Tribe, the Amish, and Indigenous communities throughout the Americas, illustrating how existing legal and ethical frameworks frequently fail to protect Indigenous rights.Kurly and Ruben also explore the growing role of artificial intelligence, open-data policies, and scientific publishing in accelerating these challenges. They discuss why Indigenous communities are demanding greater control over their own biological resources, why "informed consent" is often insufficient, and how Indigenous-led institutions like the Native BioData Consortium are working to safeguard tribal data within Indigenous legal jurisdictions.The conversation broadens into larger questions about scientific ethics, profit-sharing, the commercialization of traditional crops such as cacao, mezcal, avocados, and corn, and the continuing legacy of colonialism in modern research. Rather than rejecting science, Joe argues for a model built on trust, transparency, and genuine collaboration that respects Indigenous sovereignty while producing stronger, more ethical research.This episode challenges listeners to rethink who owns biological knowledge, who benefits from scientific discovery, and what true Indigenous self-determination should look like in the age of genomics and AI.If you enjoy conversations that examine history, archaeology, science, and Indigenous perspectives through a critical lens, be sure to subscribe to Tales from Aztlantis, leave a review, and share this episode with others interested in the future of Indigenous rights and scientific ethics.listener comments?

    Episode 103: Aztec Virtue Signalling!
    2026/07/16
    Did the Aztecs have a concept of virtue? In this episode, we dive into a lively scholarly debate over the Nawatl phrase kwalli and yektli ("good" and "right") and whether it can properly be translated as "virtue." Examining colonial dictionaries, the Florentine Codex, the Wewetlahtolli, and the work of scholars from the sixteenth century to today, we explore the evidence for a distinctly Nawa ethical tradition. Along the way, we discuss the challenges of translating Indigenous philosophies and why understanding concepts, not just individual words, is essential to appreciating Nawatl thought.Sources:Anderson, Arthur J.
