==Overview==
It is said that the man who would become the first chief of the People of the Springs went on an adventure in search of the legendary mysterious island. With the help and trust of his band of companions, he reached the destination. However, when faced with the final peril, he chose to abandon the "outcome" to save his companions. Upon returning empty-handed, he realized that he had already found the treasure and with his companions, they established Meztli.
The People of the Springs have a long history of serving as guides and cartographers. They live alongside the Koholasaurus and like to bathe in the hot springs with them. The tribe utilizes both natural and artificial springs; the former are for locals and those vetted to use them, while the latter are for foreigners who are unable to tolerate the temperature of natural springs. In addition, the People of the Springs often come together to go fishing, listen to music, or just relax. It's also said that the region the People of the Springs live in is an awesome vacation spot.YouTube: Stop Motion Animation: "Natlan Tribe Introductions". Their current chief is Amina.
