My photos of the Azteca dancers at Los Angeles City Pride Parade! It's always a massive highlight of the parade and such an honor to watch these dancers go!

How to consolidate the idea of ometeotl? Storytelling is an integral part of indigenous culture and cultural perpetuity, since time immemorial indigenous people have been teaching wisdom, educating, guiding and inspiring themselves and others by storytelling. Stories that like the well known game of telephone, will over time become sensational, elaborate, embellished and sometimes even comical, and in the 500 years since colonization these stories continue being told and continue to grow and change alongside the story keepers. The concept of Ometeotl is no different.

It is imperative to highlight that Ometeotl is a concept that exists post contact and that needs to be taught and accepted by those who preach Ometeotl in community. However, it is just as important to understand that even with that understanding, Ometeotl is held as an integral character in the Chicanteca way of storytelling. The issue is that Ometeotl is told as a character that played a part in the cosmic balance keeping in pre contact times, seeing as how Ilwikakayotl is yet to be a consolidated religion we find ourselves at a point where we can still evolve these stories to fit a more truth meets myth narrative with one simple change in the way we explain Ometeotl. By starting his story with "Ometeotl showed himself to us when the white man came". With one simple tweak in way we share story and perpetuate culture we can respect the wishes of the greater Chicano Nation to continue in reverence of Ometeotl but also imbed the truth of when and how we came to know this aspect of Ipalnemoani.
