**Due to Skype/Weather issues, at times the recording over lapped causing far from good sound, but because Dr Townsend was so amazing I cleaned it up as best as possible to bring you our conversation***

There are perhaps no more misunderstood peoples in history than the Aztecs. Prior to the Spanish conquest this tribe managed to establish a rich history in culture, art, and architecture, yet history has been most unkind to their legacy, so what is the truth about these amazing folks?

Tonight we discuss the Aztecs, their way of life, their legacy and set the record straight on some of the myths surrounding them.

Joining us is the brilliant Dr. Camilla Townsend  author of The Fifth Sun (winner of the 2020 Cundill History Prize), Annals of Native America: How the Nahuas of Colonial Mexico Kept Their History Alive,  and Pocahontas and the Powhatan Dilemma to name a few. she is a  historian and professor of history at Rutgers university
