Notes: Festschrift.   Chichimec, in Nahuatl, meant “barbarian”, a name applied to any of the people and tribes north of central Mexico.  “…one specific group of Chichimecas, called the Mexica. The Mexica were a Chichimeca tribe that claimed to have come from a mythical northern homeland known as Aztlán, so when they arrived in central Mexico they were called ”people of Aztlán”, or Aztecs.”(https://study.com/academy/lesson/historical-chichimeca-peoples-culture-history.html )  J.
