STOP SAYING NICAN TLACA
Nican Tlaca doesn't mean what many people who wish to find decolonized identity think it means...in any modern varient of Náhuatl none of the speakers will fully understand what it is you're trying to say since nican tlaca literally just means "man here" they would look at you like you either need to go on about that man here or like...what about him? The correct way to say indigenous person in the Huastecan variant is
"macehualli" mass-eh-wall-ee
macehualli = indigenous person
Nimacehualli.= I’m an indigenous person.
Timacehualli.= You are an indigenous person.
Macehualli.= She/He is an indigenous person.
Timacehualmeh.=We are indigenous people.
Inmacehualmeh.= Yawl are indigenous people.
Macehualmeh.= They are indigenous people.
Lets begin to actually bring our first langauge Nahuatl speaking family into the conversation of identity and make more use of the language as they use it not for our own personal gains.
