“A World Within the World” featuring Dr. Michael D. Mathiowetz
“A World Within the World: Portraiture Effigy Bowls and Cargo Systems in the Aztatlán Region of West Mexico” featuring Dr. Michael D. Mathiowetz
The Aztatlán tradition developed across a vast expanse of northwest Mesoamerica around AD 850/900-1350+ as a phenomenon that emerged as part of a wholesale regional reorganization following the collapse of highland west Mexican polities including La Quemada and Alta Vista. Rather than being a homogenous cultural development, the Aztatlán region crosscut multiple ethnic and linguistic subregions and was comprised of individuals and societies who chose to participate in a macroregional system with vast economic and political connections extending to the U.S. Southwest/northwest Mexico, broader Mesoamerica, and Lower Central America. Some scholars contend that the diverse Aztatlán region was united by a common religious ideology and ritualism. This presentation examines heterogeneity in these subregions as evident in the development of a form of cargo-system ritualism in the Aztatlán coastal core zone centered in Nayarit with little evidence for regional antecedents. The use of portraiture or figurative bowls with a central interior image suggests parallels with (if not antecedents to) those effigy “god bowls” used by Wixárika (Huichol) cargo holders today. Ethnological data on the use of cargo bowls in the Gran Nayar region of west Mexico opens avenues of research on political and religious organization in the Aztatlán core zone and provides insight on the use of figurative bowls elsewhere in Mesoamerica and the U.S. Southwest.
Michael D. Mathiowetz earned a Ph.D. in Anthropology at UC Riverside in 2011 and currently is a research assistant at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. His research focuses on questions of cultural change, the dynamic social networks that connected societies in Mesoamerica, west and northwest Mexico, and the U.S. Southwest, and the legacies of these interactions among descendant communities. Topics of investigation include cacao use at Chaco Canyon, political-religious organization in the Casas Grandes region, and landscape ritualism in the Aztatlán region, among others. He has published in British Archaeology Reports, Dumbarton Oaks, El Colegio de Michoacán, Harvard University Press/C.H. Beck, Journal of the Southwest, Journal of Archaeological Research, Kiva, and others. He is co-editor of Flower Worlds: Religion, Aesthetics, and Ideology in Mesoamerica and the American Southwest (with Andrew Turner, 2021) and co-editor of Reassessing the Aztatlán World: Ethnogenesis and Cultural Continuity in Northwest Mesoamerica (with John M.D. Pohl, 2024).

Much of this was fantasy... you can tell in the Q and A section when Nathan keeps looking up in the sky before he answers. He keeps "having to remember" and lots of... "I thinks"... see this makes me think, I question your thinks. I already know they avoid the 23k yr old footprints here in N America and also avoided the S American dates that are also older. Lots of silliness here, as a "theory" is given in the name of scientific affirmity with no backing, many times with a caveat - that it could be wrong. Realy? double talk? Such as is, in this education these days.
I've always felt people arrived on these continents pretty much the same way until the age of aircraft. There's so much we don't know. One must maintain an open mind.
Did they ever think that the lower Pecos culture was it's own not meso American or Pueblo
Thanks for sharing. But the academics profit from this?
Not sure what you mean, but, no, no one is profiting form this.
This is a beautiful exposition.
You guys are all wrong you don't understand things
My heart goes out to Hopi individuals and your call is being listened too. You have been very tolerant of the damage the rest of us mankind have done, I’ve only become aware of this as we are not taught UK in our civilization like you teach. We have never been taught about who we really are and the importance of this natural world we live on even now with this education. Recently it’s only about going green, not about our true roots. My thoughts and love you all and I know I have the help of Big Mountain to guide me. I have tried to communicate with you, no phone or emails responded too, I hope you’re receiving spiritual messages that you are being listened too❤❤❤❤❤

Not “rest of mankind” but you demonic cult following white skinnards who created war everywhere on earth and celebrate sodomy with the word “pride”. Be prepared for the hour of judgement.
As a lencan I truly appreciate this video. Thank you!
That was great. I was just at Chaco a couple of weeks ago, and wish your presentation was included at the Visitor Center!
This is brilliant, Dr.Lepper! Thank you for putting 100 years of misinterpretation to rest. I have always personally thought the Serpent Mound was Hopewellian, aesthetically, but am now thoroughly convinced, thanks to you, that it was created by Late Woodland, Ft. Ancient peoples and clearly still relates to historic Native American mythology. Exciting stuff!
Thanks for your comment. I've reached out to Brad to do another presentation for us next year.
I think I found the tribe that supposedly preceded the Hopi. I know, it sounds impossible, but I’m pretty sure. The art fits.
Yet another misinformed person who goes off the Berengia Theory that has been disproven. Nathan has got it completely wrong. Asians didn't migrate into the Americas, Native Americans migrated and became sub-asian groups. The further south you go, the older the records, south to north and East to west migration.

Did you consider looking into woodhenge as well, in your work, interesting note: Ceasar said the Druids didn't know who built the Henges, the druids were just using them.
I agree I have been going the manifestation and being in the UK it lead me to look at the Druids, but I was leaded towards the Hopi Tribe but have not been able to communicate with one of them as yet, if anyone could help me communicate with one of the elders I would really appreciate it. As Woodhenge was a head of Stonehenge, I think it needs looking at. It’s something I will be looking at. A message for any Hopi individual reading this I had never heard of you or Big Mountain, but big mountain is there to support my guidance and I’m sure more will come to light as part of my manifestation.

Hello, David. Jaime Awe will not respond to your comment here. You need to contact him at the university and ask him about it. If you worked under him, he'd probably like to hear from you.

Back in about August of 1993 my Wife and I were driving on the Southernmost Paved Road traveling West out of Del Rio, TX, toward Alpine and in between Del Rio and Alpine TX we stopped at a Road Side Store where an American Indian was managing the small country store, and we struck up a conversation as he had some fossils and other curious items in the store. He explained to me that several years previously that he had been hunting in the Mountains or hills near his Store location in Texas and came across a clear foot print in the rock - I am not at all sure if on a creek bottom or hill side but my impression that the foot print was in rock on a hill side, or lower portion of it. He attempted to re-trace his steps at times but was unable to locate the foot print in rock. This reminds me of the foot prints at white sands NM, which in a Geographical sense is not all that far away distance wise, and likely of similar time line. It always stuck in my mind, and I have never forgotten the American Indian who told me about his find of the well defined foot print in rock.
Great work! It will be great to have it with Spanish subtitles
