Just as ocean waves are the energy of the ocean manifesting in myriad becomings,
Our people are the energy-process (teotl) of the universe manifesting as Nican Tlaca.
We are the “Paleo-Indians”, Olmecs, Teotihuacanos, Maya, Mexica, et al.
We are the past, present, & future.
Imagine a photo album of your life as a: baby, toddler, teenager, adult, old person, father, son, cousin, co-worker, spouse, etc.
Which one of those pictures is the “real” you?
All of them. They are merely snapshots (still-photo) of a moving (dynamic) reality of You.
