If we want to rename things (Mexico was a LOT larger in the olden times) why don't we call it "Gulf of the Americas?"

Oh because it doesn't support imperial single minded nationalism and isn't USA centered

Where and when was this decided by the Indigenous people of North America?

I'm interested to learn more about this. I've never heard this name when I studied the history of North America,

No because it’s not a homogeneous people so it would have many different names/this wouldn’t be coordinated across NA

I'll do this starting NOW, if someone will just post a pronunciation guide! Please?

I'm all for finding a middle ground, which is why I will call it the Gulf of Canada, USA, and Mexico. Or Gulf of C.U.M. for short.

Agree, at least it's the original name

Anybody got a pronunciation key?

I unironically support this

If human bodies are mostly water, does that mean Chalchiuhtlicue has dominion over us, too? 🤔

Looks like "not exactly," but it's cool nonetheless:

Never heard of this goddess before but im glad i did. She's got some really awesome depictions!

I really wish we could actually "rename" places as their original indigenous names across all America(~~s~~). For example my country had an internal turmoil just to keep the original name of its capital city because we love our native people, and yet we keep the incredibly stupid name of "Land of Colon" (imho most probably the most stupid name of any country, ever) because fuck our native people.

I’m practicing the pronunciation right now.

If I could heard that pronounced I would totally start call it that too

Somebody teach me the basic pronounciation, so I can make a slightly less fool of myself when trying to say it, and I'm on board with that.

My gal spelt out “Chalchiuhtlicueyecati” but abbreviated “associated with.”
