Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A legend says that their God of the sun, Huitzilopochtli, guided them to find a new place to live. He told the Aztecs they would know they had arrived, when they saw an eagle standing on a nopal cactus with a snake in its beak. This would be the sign for them to start building their new home.
