Life Styles of the "Noble Nobel Savages"
The Aztecs made masks out of the front part of human skulls. They would adorn them with jade eyes and accessories like necklaces, rattles and obsidian knives. The skulls were not worn as masks. The eye sockets were blocked with decorative stones, so anybody attempting to wear one would not have been able to see.

"The Aztecs made masks out of the front part of human skulls. "
Yea... we need to embrace there culture because its a bright shining example of what a civilization ought to be.
One small question: Who's human skulls will they be allowed to take for their religious jewelry making?

The reason a mere 200 or so Spaniards with a few cannon, horses, and 3-rounds-per-minute matchlock muskets could bring down the Aztecs was because they had thousands of other Indian allies who hated their cruel Aztec overlords. The same strategy brought down the Incas, for whom PC history neglects to point out that they had their own forms of human sacrifice.
