This paper analyzes the Telleriano-Remensis Codex texts written by Dominican missionaries in the 16 th century, in New Spain. Within these comments, many references can be found connecting aspects of Christianity to myths and practices from the indigenous population. References are made to a flood, pointing out the friars' concern to find a place for the American native people into the European Christian worldview
