The Aztec civilization was a group of ethnic people who dominated the meso-american landscape from the 14th to 16th centuries. The Aztecs were not egalitarian (supporting universal rights for all people) as they had a class structure that included nobles, peasants, traveling merchants and slaves. You could become a slave in Aztec culture either through being captured in a war, having unpaid debts, or as a criminal punishment. Slaves could buy their liberty and were sometimes freed upon the death of their master.
Yes, the Mayans and Aztecs were indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, but the term "Indian" is typically used to refer to the indigenous peoples of the Americas as a whole, not specifically to these groups. It's more accurate to refer to them as Mayans and Aztecs.
Historical accounts suggest that the Aztecs did practice human sacrifice, where victims were often killed and parts of their bodies consumed in ritualistic ceremonies. However, the extent of actual cannibalism among the Aztecs is still debated among historians and scholars.
The practice of skinning people was part of Aztec human sacrifice rituals, where victims were often skinned as a form of offering to the gods. The Aztecs believed that this act would appease their deities and ensure the continued prosperity and well-being of their civilization.
The four characteristics of hunter-gatherer societies are small in scale, nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyle, egalitarian social structure, and a reliance on natural resources for sustenance.
The Aztecs wore masks for religious and ceremonial purposes such as during rituals, festivals, and dances. The masks were often used to depict gods, spirits, or animals from their mythology, and were believed to help connect the wearer with the spiritual realm.
As an Egalitarian, the man was accepting of all nationalities, political affiliations, religions, and sexes. An Egalitarian believes that all people are equal and deserve equal opportunities.
America was founded on egalitarian beliefs and our constitution confirms that belief.

The key differences between Aztec and other Native American cultures include their social structure, religious beliefs, and artistic achievements. The Aztecs had a complex hierarchical society with a powerful ruling class, while other Native American cultures had more egalitarian social structures. The Aztecs practiced human sacrifice as part of their religious beliefs, which was not common in other Native American cultures. Additionally, the Aztecs were known for their intricate artwork and architecture, which set them apart from other Native American groups.
