The Maya and Aztecs were and are Native Americans. They lived on the North American continent for thousands of years. Native American refers to to being native to North and South America. The Maya are still around to this day and they still inhabit a large amount of southern Mexico and are not mixed but are of pure blood and such tribes are the Lancandon, and The Chamula, which are but a few examples of Mayan tribes still in existence. The Aztecs and Maya inhabited Central America, in modern-day Mexico. Mexico is a native term as well, and came from the term Mexica which is the Aztec name for themselves pronounced "Mesheeca." The only division between natives are the borders that have been erected. People who are native to America stretch from Alaska and Canada all the way down to the southernmost tip of Chile and Argentina. They are all Native Americans.

No they were a Nation.

Myan descendants still exist in great numbers, and many still speak in the Mayan tongue. There are many Mayan words in the Mexican Vulgate.

The Mayans and the Aztecs were not the same people. However, the Aztecs borrowed many ideas from the Mayans. The ruins of the town of Chichen Itza contain both Maya and Aztec relics.
