Subject: [Aztlan] Aztec poetry

My teenaged son is studying Latin America, and his teacher is  
starting with poetry by Latin American authors.  I thought it might  
be interesting to throw in a little poetry by indigenous Latin  
Americans.  I do have a few references in books to Yukatek and Nauatl  
poetry, but this is the on-line generation.  I've found an indigenous  
poetry website, but wasn't impressed.  Does anybody happen to know of  
some internet resources for native Latin American poetry with good  
scholarly underpinnings?
