Sorry fellow that you didn't know about him, but is your fault LOL
 
Nezahualcoyotl perhaps is not known internationally because, as you may know, communication media is not at the hand of hispanics... as yet Wink
 
But, Nezahualcoyotl is known in Mexico. He is recognized by the main Engineering society in that country (yes, Mexico also have engineers, and they even invented color TV Tongue). His poetry was registered in Nahuatl and Spanish by Nezahualcoyotl greatson, so you can find it in a well provided library, and EVEN IN ENGLISH.
 
Moreover, Texcoco still exist, so you can visit it, if you ever wish.
 
Yes, you use the name of great Leif Ericson as your nick, but your attitude with "these indians" show your ignorance about that topic, and a certain biass. (Imagine someone talks about scandinavians saying "these barbarians". I would be insulting. isn't?) And I bet Nezahuacoyotl created better poems and build larger structures than most of what the Vikings did LOL

Red Cloud and Crazy Horse were interesting characters, as was Tecumseh and others who fought against American expansion. I really admired the first two though for the tactics they employed against American settlement of the West. Basically I think that the Sioux and many other similar tribes in the far-West fought for a valiant cause and deserve more recognition than they get. The history of the Plains Indians is very sad. :(

This is Lautaro, the greatest Amerindian heroe of South America. After him, the independence heroes of South America named masonic lodges were insurrection started. After him the communist revolutionaries named theirs groups, and the army and navy of Chile name divisions and warships.

He is considered on of the greatest strategists of all times. His tactics helped the Mapuche stop the Spanish colonization, forcing them to deal and sign peace treaties.

In this picture of the 19th century one see Lautaro carrying the ancient Mapuche flag, with the asterix-star on it, and blue background. That was a model that served in the design of the current Chilean flag, below.
