The Calpulli The Wards That Organized Tenochtitlan

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the calpulli system, the fundamental social and territorial units of Tenochtitlan. Each calpulli functioned as a clan-based neighborhood, managing its own temple, school, and lands. We discuss how these wards shaped daily life, from land ownership to tax collection, and how the Spanish conquest fractured this indigenous organization. Learn about the role of the calpullec, the distinction between pipiltin and macehualtin, and the survival of calpulli in modern Mexico City. #Calpulli #Tenochtitlan #Aztec #Nahuatl #Mesoamerica #SocialOrganization #Calpullec #Pipiltin #Macehualtin #TemploMayor #Chapultepec #Cortes #Conquest #FlorentineCodex #BernardinoDeSahagun #History #FexingoHistory #AztecEmpire Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
