Preview of the essay: Aztec community
The name, Aztec, is considered an incredibly imprecise term used to refer to the culture that heavily controlled the Valley of Mexico during the fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries. Brendan (1996) states that the Aztec community comprised of all the Nahua-speaking people who were found in the Valley of Mexico. However, the culture that greatly dominated the region was a tribe of the Mexica which they used to pronounce as the "me-shee-ka", called the Tenochca which was also pronounced as the "te-noch-ka".

This movement called for a return to the spirituality of the Aztecs. It is argued that, with this return, Mexico will become the next center of power. This new religious movement brings together the Mesoamerican religious groups with the Hindu esoterism. Nevertheless, the Mexicanista movement or association reached the peak or its highest point of popularity and attractiveness during the onset of 1990s.
