Nahui Ollin is a 16th-century concept in Aztec/Mexica cosmology with a variety of meanings. Nahui translates to "four," and Ollin translates to "movement" or "motion." Ollin was primarily portrayed in Aztec codices as two interlaced lines, each portrayed with two central ends. Nahui Ollin has been used as an educational framework, particularly in social justice and ethnic studies institutions.
