Nahuatl is an ancient language spoken by our Mexica/Azteca ancestors. This language is far from dead and is in fact a vibrant living language. It is very important for us to learn Nahuatl because as long as we speak white languages (English and Spanish), we will think like white people. When you learn Nahuatl, you attain the world view of our ancestors and in this way can weed out the Eurocentric nonsense which is fed to us. Our Mexica elders believe that indigenous knowledge is in our genes; that we are born with the knowledge but that it takes an awakening process for this knowledge to come out; they say that learning Nahuatl is the most important step of this awakening process. Many people speak it today in Mexiko and Aztlan. Others such as the Hopi, speak languages which are related to Nahuatl and are therefore called Uto-Aztecan.

Even the Rain
Film Screening

As a director and his crew shoot a controversial film about Christopher Columbus in Cochabamba, Bolivia, local people rise up against plans to privatize the water supply. While filming, it becomes apparent that the events that occured during the American Holocaust were so horrendous and inhumane that they are often too difficult to imagine. The film masterfully illustrates the fact that 519 years later, indigenous people still endure oppression at the hands of the european invaders proving that only time separates the 16th century european invaders from their modern-day descendants.

"If Brown (vs. Board of Education) was just about letting Black people into a White school, well we don’t care about that anymore. We don’t necessarily want to go to White schools. What we want to do is teach ourselves, teach our children the way we have of teaching. We don’t want to drink from a White water fountain...We don’t need a White water fountain. So the whole issue of segregation and the whole issue of the Civil Rights Movement is all within the box of White culture and White supremacy. We should not still be fighting for what they have. We are not interested in what they have because we have so much more and because the world is so much larger. And ultimately the White way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own destruction. And so it isn’t about an argument of joining neo liberalism, it’s about us being able, as human beings, to surpass the barrier."

- Marcos Aguilar (Principal, Academia Semillas del Pueblo)
