Aztec Roots

Centeocihuatl: La Diosa Azteca de Maíz Maduro

“Maíz (Corn): It is who we are. It is where we come from and what we are made of. It is our sacred sustenance. It forms part of our ancient memory that goes back 7,000 years to this very continent. It is what connects us to our Mother Earth

Maíz: Es quienes somos. Es de donde vinimos y de lo que estamos hechos. Es nuestro sustento sagrado. Forma parte de nuestra memoria antigua de más de 7,000 años en las Américas. Es lo que nos conecta con nuestra Madre Tierra.”
— Quote written by Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez, Writer & Associate Professor in the Mexican American Studies Department, University of Arizona.
