What’s the meaning of ‘Teja’? “At this place, Valladolid,” Jesús announced above the racket, “we view the scene of the last Mayan rebellion. One hundred years ago the Yucateca took our whole peninsula back from the ladinos. We declared independence from Mexico like your Tejas of North America, and nearly made it the nation of the Maya again.” What’s the meaning of ‘Teja’ in the phrase ‘Tejas of North America’? Thanks!
