No. Although she was of Nahuatl (e.g. Aztec) ancestry, she had been raised as a member of the Mayan society. She had been ceded as tribute to the local Mayan warlord after a war between the Aztecs and the Tabscoob tribe, located in the Gulf of Mexico.
She became instrumental in the conquest of Mexico, after the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes found out she could speak both Mayan and Nahuatl, using her help on both intelligence and diplomatic tasks.
Some sources define her as a traitor against the Aztecs, but the fact is, she was SOLD as a slave when she was still a child. Her allegiance to the Aztecs would be dim at best.
