"If seeking to be a nation is wishful thinking then I will
wish with all my might entrusting my fate to my Creator.

This Border that was placed here by American invaders was another idea of theirs to hedge us in, to divide and conquer us.
We do not recognize or respect any foreign imposed border. We do not respect anyone who invades and yet dares to call its
Natives “illegal”. Aztlan is our homeland, where we belong. We will reclaim it according to the ancient prophecies, and we
will from henceforth determine our destiny.
The real illegal immigrants on this continent are the white Europeans that crossed an entire ocean, not Mexicans.
Mexicans are descendants of the Mexica and other native tribes. We are not Hispanic, which means we come from Spain;
neither are we Latino, which means we come from Italy. The amount of contamination of European blood on our people is
a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of millions of Natives that inhabited this hemisphere. The majority of us
are predominantly Native and it is that blood that ties us to and cries out for our land! By them calling us Hispanic or
Latino they try to tear us away from our identity and our land. Therefore we reclaim our identity as Chicanos and reclaim
our nation Aztlan.
Though we live in occupied territory we carry a dual citizenship. One is of the foreign invaders that occupy our lands and
enslave our people. The second is our Citizenship in the Nation of Aztlan, our true nation. Aztlan is a nation that is truly
free, no oppression, no predatory capitalism that enslaves the population. We are a nation that is created by Raza, for all
our Raza. We accept those of other races to dwell with us in peace, to seek happiness and the well being of their families.
We are a nation that values our families, our faith, and our unflinching call to honor and dignity. We believe in the full
restoration of all tribal lands to the Native Nations that dwell within our borders. We believe in freedom, justice, truth and
the Chicano Way of Life. Somos Aztlan!!

All this land belongs to Natives. By “native” we don’t mean “native
born” whites, blacks, or Asians, we mean the Native People who
inhabited this land for thousands of years before any other human
set foot on this continent or hemisphere. Chicanos lay a claim to
this land in the indisputable fact that Native blood runs through
our veins. Our ancestors are Mexica, Maya, Tolteca, Yaqui,
Navajo, Lakota; thousands of Native tribes that were hunted,
destroyed and pushed to the edge of extinction by European
invaders; Spaniards and Portugese in the South, British and French
in the north. We emerge now as a new breed, a mixture of all
Native Nations and tribes. Out of many we are One, we are the
Chicano Nation! With this we claim our Birthright, Aztlan is our
Inheritance!
