	Aztec Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Nahua culture flourished in the fifteenth- and sixteenth- centuries prior to 1521 (CE), the fall of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, and official date of the Conquest.
		Nahuas philosophers also conceived teotl pantheistically: (a) everything that exists constitutes an all-inclusive and interrelated unity; (b) this unity is sacred; (c) everything that exists is substantively identical and hence one with the sacred; (d) the sacred is teotl.
		Nahua morality is rooted in the claim that balance-and-purity constitute the ideal condition as well as what is intrinsically valuable for humans, and derives two fundamental moral precepts from this claim: humans should promote balance-and-purity and avert imbalance-and-impurity.

	Medicinal Practices and Beliefs of the Ancient Nahua and Modern Curanderismo. Tlahui - Medic No. 18, II/2004
		Some challenges encountered in the process of researching this paper were the lack of available information on Curanderismo, the scrutiny and criticism one must have with texts on Nahua culture, and the knowledge that their beliefs and medicinal practices have long been overshadowed by misunderstanding, biased researching, and secrecy.
		As well, primary sources must be considered biased towards presenting views and beliefs held by the educated elite of the time, and not necessarily representing the beliefs and practices of the majority of the ancient population.
		Nahua ethnoanatomical knowledge regarded human anatomy and physiology as integrated with the centers of animated spirit energies.

	The Aztec (Nahua) calli of ancient Mexico: household, family, and gender
		Nahua mortality in the early decades of the sixteenth century was probably worse than any seen in Europe since the Black Death, yet many ordinary people in ancient Mexico lived in compound multi-generation households.
		Among the ancient Nahua, married brothers were more likely to reside with one another than with married sisters, but this was in part due to the large gap in marriage age between males and females.
		The Nahua household was an amalgam, consisting of several conjugal units and solitary individuals, almost invariably related to the head by kinship, however remote.

	Nahua Seek Land Rights While Speculators Seize Natural Wealth
		Dispupidiwa Wasi is the curaca or traditional chief of the Nahua community of Serjali, deep in the jungle of southeastern Peru.
		Another difficult issue is the Nahua request to be allowed to selectively cut trees inside the reserve on the land they claim as their territory.
		The Nahua argue that since disease and decimation forced them to settle in Serjali, contact with the outside world has created a series of new needs, some of which must be met with cash.

	Child Marriage and Complex Families (cemithualtin) among the Ancient Aztec (Nahua)
		While Nahua ages should not be taken literally, neither should one think that "10" (note the large number of ten year olds in Table 1) was only a symbol for coming of age or for puberty.
		Childhood marriage was the rule, not the exception, among the Nahuas of rural Morelos.
		What the Nahua censuses teach us is that the relative scarcity of three generation households in early modern Western Europe was probably a social construct--more a matter of late marriage and neolocal residence rules--than a demographic constraint--high mortality.

		But in 1984 loggers captured four Nahua, who were taken to the local town before being sent back to their villages.
		We grew to understand the complexity of a situation in which the Nahua recognized the bad effects of logging on the forest and its wildlife but also needed to allow a small amount of it in order to be able to buy the modern goods they had come to depend on.
		The Nahua had tried to protect their land, only to be threatened with death.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Burkhart, Before Guadalupe
		Latin texts were used by some Nahuas, especially for the chanting of the Hours and for liturgical singing by the indigenous choirs during church services, but such a small minority of people actually understood what the Latin words meant that the Nahuatl-language corpus is a surer guide to Nahua knowledge of the Virgin.
		Colonial Nahuas, having undergone no spiritual "conversion," saw no contradiction in reevaluating both Christian and traditional practices and discourses and concocting from them new formulae, for the most part consistent with accustomed modes of eliciting sacred experience, that suited their colonial circumstances at any particular time and place.
		Writing for Nahuas, the authors of these texts, whether Nahua or European, had to re-imagine Old World discourse in relation to the developing Christianity of indigenous Mesoamericans and the colonial power relations in which their religious life was entangled.

		My first introduction to the Nahua world of pre-Conquest Mexico was in the spring of 1980, the first year I returned to school seeking new career paths at the University of Colorado.

		Pluspetrol will return in mid-May to Nahua territory to verify the existence of isolated indigenous groups in that part of the reserve, thus running the serious risk of endangering the lives of these communities, extremely vulnerable to introduced diseases.
		Mr Carbajal told the Nahua that Pluspetrol had already coordinated with relevant State authorities on the matter and that they had no right to oppose their work [Note:2].
		As the Nahua told the company representatives, they are afraid that Pluspetrol personnel will bring in new diseases [Note:4] and that their exploratory and extractive activities may poison the rivers and frighten away the animals on which they depend for survival [Note:5].

	Nahua
		Los nahuas del Mishagua, en contacto desde hace trece años, son conocidos también regionalmente como sharas y parquenahuas, y los yaminahuas se dirigen a ellos con el término "yabashta".La población estimada aproximada es de 450 personas, no censada, incluyendo todos los sub-grupos mencionados.
		En 1984, los nahuas atacaron a un grupo de la Marina de Guerra que se encontraba realizando una inspección con la idea de construir un canal de interconexión fluvial entre las cuencas de los ríos Urubamba y Madre de Dios en el istmo de Fitzcarrald; ese día el entonces Presidente Fernando Belaúnde visitaba la zona.
		Habiéndose reconstituido en una nueva ubicación es plausible pensar que los antiguos patrones también han sido adaptados a su nueva situación, ya que los nahuas pasaron en una década de vivir en pequeñas aldeas familiares a un asentamiento nucleado, semejante al de otros grupos de carácter ribereño.

		A delegation of Nahua, an indigenous people in initial contact with the outside world, has arrived in Lima from a remote corner of the Amazon rainforest to call on the Peruvian government to remove oil concessions from their territories.
		The Nahua, who live adjacent to the controversial Camisea Gas Project in Peru’s southeastern Amazon, fear that their right to life will be jeopardized by the return of diseases which in the 1980s caused the deaths of over half their population after Shell Oil first contacted them.
		The Nahua have lived in the remote headwaters of the Manu, Mishagua and Serjali rivers, spanning the borders of Cusco, Ucayali and Madre de Dios regions, since the beginning of the 20th century, when they fled the slavery and genocide accompanying the Peruvian rubber boom.

		The linkage between Nephi and Nahua was first suspected when searching the various maps of the area between the fortress city Lehi and the sunken fortress city Moroni for the as yet unidentified fortress city of Nephihah.
		The Nahua root is not limited to place identifiers but extends into their spiritual realm.
		While the name root Nahua does not show up much in Mexican place names, it does show up in the Nahuatl language in some interesting ways other than “sorcerer.” Nahui for example means the number “four.” Nahuacalli means “four boats” and nahuacatl means “four reed.” Recall that Nephi was the “fourth” son of Lehi.

		On the same theme, outright Nahua resistance to Spanish efforts at Christianization is seen in four case studies of Nahua "man-gods" in Serge Gruzinki's monograph (item bi 91013765).
		The translation of Alfredo López Austin's work on prehispanic Nahua ideology and religious beliefs as they pertain to the human body is a welcome addition to the English-language literature on Nahua beliefs.

		Horn uses Nahua notarial records to investigate the impact of the capital on the Nahuas of Coyoacán--who produced for and provided wage labor to the capital.
		She also discusses the development of personal relations between local Nahuas and Spaniards and shows that Nahuas were both patron to and client of local Spaniards.
		While effectively using Nahua records, Horn perhaps spends too much of her discussion of land tenure on the semantics of the documents and too little on the reasons behind the creation of the documents.
