Legend says the Mexica people wandered for generations looking for a sign, an eagle on a cactus, eating a snake, and finally found it on a lake island that became Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City. That eagle still perches dead center on the green-white-red flag, and people fly it for everything from Independence Day to ordering tacos.
