SPEAKER_00: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan and this is Encyclopedia Wamanica. Today's legend is still a hotly debated figure in Mexican lore. She's viewed by some as a traitor and villainous temptress. By others, she's seen as a victim of Spanish colonialism, a slave, and the mother of a new race. Let's talk about La Malinche. La Malinche was born in 1496 in a region between the Aztec-ruled Valley of Mexico and the Mayan states of the Yucatan Peninsula. La Malinche herself was Nahua or Aztec and was also known by the name Malincin and Dona Maria. In April of 1519, Spanish conquistadors defeated the Chontalmaya of Pontochán in battle. Their spoils included 20 young women who they took as slaves. Among them was La Malinche. There's little record from La Malinche's perspective at the time, but she certainly made an impression on the Spanish. Records from conquistador Bernal Díaz del Castillo recall her beauty and graciousness. Another member of the expedition, famed conquistador Hernán Cortés, took special notice of La Malinche. He singled her out as a gift for Alfonso Hernández Porto Carreiro, one of the highest-born members of the Spanish expedition. But when that guy returned to Spain, Cortés kept La Malinche by his side. La Malinche proved incredibly valuable to the Spanish as an interpreter, as she was fluent in both the native Mayan and Nahuatl languages. Cortés even arranged for a Spanish priest to teach La Malinche Spanish so she could become Cortés' sole interpreter. La Malinche and Cortés are thought to have been inseparable, so much so that the Aztec codices always show her pictured alongside Cortés, and the Tlaxacala called La Malinche and Cortés by the same name, Malincin. At one point during her partnership with Cortés, La Malinche got wind of a plot between the Cholulans and Aztecs to attack a small Spanish army. La Malinche alerted Cortés of her findings and may have even acted as a double agent, pretending to cooperate with her native people while continuing to feed information to Cortés. In the end, Cortés had the upper hand and slaughtered many Cholulans. In 1522, La Malinche and Hernán Cortés gave birth to a son, Martín Cortés. Martín is considered one of the first mestizos, people of mixed European and indigenous American descent. Toward the end of her life, La Malinche continued to interpret for Cortés across Central America. She also later married a Spanish Hidalgo named Juan Jaramillo. La Malinche passed away in 1529. She was around 33 years old. The legacy of La Malinche has always been polarizing. Even while she was alive, there were disputes overhead of you her role with the Spanish. For her involvement in the deception of the Cholulan and Aztec people, many marked her a traitor of the Tlaxcalaan. The word malinchista even refers to a disloyal patriot. But by some, she was also depicted at the time as a larger-than-life figure, even larger than Cortés, loyal to the Tlaxcalaan instead of the Spaniards. Her image is also invoked in the Aztec legend of La Llorona, a ghost woman who weeps for her lost children. Over the years, as social and political perspectives evolve, so has her reputation. During the Mexican Revolution, she was portrayed as a scheming temptress in novels, dramas, and paintings. During the rise of second-wave feminism in the 1960s, a newfound interpretation of La Malinche began to take form. Rosario Castellanos' poem, Malinche, recasts her as not a traitor, but as a victim of tragic circumstance, a young slave woman caught between cultures who ultimately becomes the mother of a new race. Regardless of how you view La Malinche's actions, as that of a traitor or as a victim of colonizer violence, her legacy is both an influential interpreter to the Spanish conquistadors and as the symbolic mother of a new Mexican people lives on.
