a Novel by Marilee Manz
The Weaselhead is an area in Glenmore Park in Calgary with a history stemming from the late 1800’s and was named by the Tsuu T’ina Natives. The first bridge to cross the Elbow River was built near Weaselhead Crossing, where people had from time immemorial crossed the river by foot.

Cheryl travels to Mexico a day before her tour so she can visit the Templo Mayor Museum. This museum was created to house this monolith and now is full of Aztec artifacts. The Coyolxauhqui is a stone sculpture three meters wide and would have originally been placed at the bottom of the Main Temple, or Templo Mayor, of the Aztec Empire. The Spanish built what is now Mexico City directly on top of this temple using destroyed remnants of the Temple and the city Tenochtitlan.
Coyolxauhqui means ‘bells in her cheeks” and after her dismemberment by her bother Huitzilopochtli, her head was thrown into the sky and turned into the moon.
When Cheryl stands in the Zocalo of Mexico City she is standing in the heart of the Aztec Empire.
