Nahuatl movies

[David Becraft]

Keno Tinemi,

Something to think about is that many Nawa speaking people have been trading 
back and forth up and down Anahuac for centuries.  Another point is that 
many Nahuas were with the Spaniards in their travels through the southwest.  
Think of some place names in California like "Mexicali" which is clearly a 
nahuatl word meaning "house of Mexi".  Some traditions also have Nahuas 
traveling and having nahuatl placenames like Seattle (Ce-Atl), and Michigan 
(Michican) among many.  Could this explain why the nanny was speaking 
nahuatl in California...possibly.
