I know where the Aztecs lived. There were many peaceful nations (my husband is part Chocktaw and Cherokee, btw).
But the Aztecs were not the only ones to try to wipe out or enslave neighboring tribes. And I didn't talk about human sacrifices. I talked about genocide.
As my daughter's history professor at University used to say, give the people of the past the courtesy of recognizing they lived complex lives.
It wasn't as simplistic as all natives good, Europeans bad.
sorry Grayma, apparentley I stayed up past my medication induced bedtime. That edited part of my post was supposed to be not directed toward you at all, but a post to the general readers in regards to conversations I've had about native americans. like did you ever notice how many people are descendants of a cherokee prince or princess. yet the cherokees do not have prince and princess at all. yet others ramble on about native americans being blood thristy savage hethens. use the aztecs, mayans or the karankawas as they only examples
as for you husbands heritage, have you ever had the chance to visit Oklahoma to see the Cherokee Heritage Center?
it is a really great place to visit
