THE MEXICA FLAG represents The Indigenous Movement of the People of Anahuac: Mexican, Central American, and "Native American" of Aztlan (the so-called "The Southwest").
THE SYMBOL AT THE HEART OF THIS MEXICA FLAG REPRESENTS OMETEOTL: GOD IN THE UNIVERSE

The black and white symbol at the center represents OMETEOTL, who is called Hunab-Ku in our Maya language.
