SUMMARY:“The Guardian of the Sacred Bundle: Migrant Women Wisdom Between Archive
s”
DESCRIPTION:\nThe bottom right corner of a folio of the Codex Azcatitlan
shows an Indigenous Nahua migrant woman kneeling on the floor and holdi
ng a child on her lap\, gazing attentively at what lies in front of her:
the sizable severed head of a hummingbird over a blanket. This unlikely
sight shows the contents of what was arguably the most sacred object in
the Mexica world: the bundle of Huitzilopochtli\, the solar-warrior-hum
mingbird god. This object accompanied the Mexica along their migration t
o central Mexico. According to various versions of the story\, the bundl
e guided them along the way\, and showed them the path. The Codex Azcati
tlan is the sole instance in which the bundle is undone\, the only witne
sses to its sacred interior an anonymous migrant woman and her child. Th
is talk analyzes the sudden emergence of this Guardian of the Sacred Bun
dle in this Indigenous painted history of migration\, at a time when the
first Spanish colonial Inquisitorial case against migrants for carrying
a hummingbird bundle appears in the archival record.\n\nFor more detail
