Aztlán

Aztlán is a legendary place in Aztec mythology, often considered the ancestral home of the Mexica people (ancestors of the Aztecs). It is described as a paradise or mythical land, from which the Aztecs migrated to what is now central Mexico. Aztlán symbolizes cultural identity and heritage for many Mexican Americans and Chicanos, often celebrated in art and literature. The concept has been embraced politically to represent the idea of reclaiming land and cultural roots. The exact location of Aztlán is unknown, but it holds significant symbolic meaning in discussions about identity, nationalism, and cultural history.
