Aztec vs Maya

>How do different tribes feel about each other today?

Kek, there are no tribes today. They either got killed off or assimilated.

What's left is are just muddled traditions left over here and there. Mexicans identify more as Mexicans than they do Aztec or Maya (though they do say they're proud of that lineage).

No Amerindians fought with each other. That is a myth, and a product of the Eurocentric, white male patriarchy's rewriting of history.
Before the backwards Spanish arrived with their horses and ships and wheels, the Nahua and Maya would regularly meet up for coffee and a chat. Sometimes they would camp out together and have marshmallows around a fire whilst regaling the other tribe with tales about Quetzalcoatl, God of Homosexual Fabulousness and Transgender Issues.

In future, please Google these things before posting as you may harm the collective feelings of the oppressed. And check your privilege.

Why is that everyone only talks about aztecs and mayas when muiscas and tayronas were superior?

Calm down, gentlemen. It was a joke.
I'm actually pretty interested in Amerindian cultures, in particular those of Central America and Brazil.
I've always been intrigued by the parallels with the Old World, especially given the length of time (10-15,000 years) that they were separated. It makes me wonder what the ancient cultures of Eurasia were like, before the first tribes made it to the Americas.

Actually, to say the conquistadors "exploited" the wars between the Triple Alliance and the city states is highly disputable. The conquistadors were a small band of foreigners in a mesoamerican war.

Dude what? There are millions of native people left in Mexico and Central America, a good period of whom don't even speak Spanish fluently

According to the Commission for the Development of Indigenous Peoples (CDI) and National Institute of Indigenous Languages (INALI), while 10–14% of the population identifies as belonging to an indigenous group, around 6% speak an indigenous language.

Not to say there are tribes anymore but there are people who identify themselves as Natives

>>1532771
Maya definitely still exists and identify as such. And aside from Chicanos and Mexicans who identify as Aztecs, there are actual Nahuas in Mexico.

Also this, it was more of a Native conquest, who were the majority of the conquistadors.

I wish there was a comic about the Toltec expansion into the Maya region.
