Dress was an important part in Aztec religion and daily life. Weaving and spinning were practiced by all women. They weaved for their families and as payments and taxes to the nobility. The woven clothing were cotton and maguey fibers. The leaders wore the cotton clothing and the peasant had to use the maguey fiber.
Nobles ranked the highest and could be determined by the dress. The dress considered to show symbols to show their high rank. Bright colours and Gold were important in the dress.
The commoners and serfs were not allowed to dress with extravagance. They dress with the same cotton with less accessories and bright colours.
Aztec women wore skirts that they wore around their hips and waists.
Men wore loincloths and often wore a poncho without sleeves or a cloak over the loincloth. All men had a small shoulder pouch under their cloak or poncho. They carried coca leaves to chew which were like tobacco leaves. The pouches also were used to carry good luck amulets.

I have been to Guadalajara and it would seem logical to me that the syrup is raw agave nectar from the maguey plant that is used to make tequila. This syrup is sweeter than maple syrup and the "sugar" index is much lower than that of cane sugar - so - it's better for you. It also tastes great and is readily available at specialty food stores like "Whole Foods." Good on cereal, toast, mixed drinks, etc. Use it in place of any maple syrup, cane sugar, refined sugar, or honey.

There are a few but the most common is mezcal. It is a spirit distilled from the beer, or mash, made from the hearts of agaves. There are 3 basic types of mezcal; reposado, anejo, and white(or dorado[golden]).
White and dorado mezcals are not aged but distilled and bottled, the golden is
just colored white mezcal.
Reposado is aged in clay pots or barrels for 2 to 9 months to gain color and flavor.
Anejo is aged at least 18 months often in wooden barrels and is more like a
whiskey.
Mezcal can be made from any of a few different maguey agaves, [there are about 120 species] with other possible ingredients comprising up to 40% of the product.
Tequila mezcal is made strictly within guidelines set by the government and within the boundaries of the state of Jalisco and selected parts of bordering states, only blue agave is used in making tequila. No worm is added to tequila, only mezcal might have the worm added.
Pulque is another beverage made from maguey, it is not used in the production of mezcal, it is recognized as a separate beverage.
Tequila is a mezcal - mezcal is not tequila.

After the Mexica branch of the Aztecs. The origin of the term "Mexxica" remains uncertain. Some take it as the old Nahuatl word for the sun. Others say it derived from the name of the leader Mexitli. Yet others simply ascribe it to a type of weed that grows in Lake Texcoco. Leon Portilla suggests that it means "navel of the moon" from Nahuatl metztli (moon) and xictli (navel). Alternatively, it could mean "navel of the maguey" (Nahuatl metl).

A stiff rope called a lariat, a riata or reata. The stiff rope is designed so that the loop remains open when thrown so that it can catch cattle via head or feet. Most lariats today (particularly the California or Arena-styles) are made of stiff polyester or nylon rope, but others (including the much longer riatas) are still made from rawhide (mostly braided, but can also come twisted like many ropes are), Mexican maguey (or agave), or cotton. California-style lariats are range in size from 28 feet to 35 feet long, and the Mexican riatas range from 50 feet to over 100 feet long.

"It comes from the Aztec's capital city name: Mexico-Tenochtitlan. It means "place of cactus in the middle of the Moon Lake". The Aztecs called themselves Mexica. By association, the Spanish conquistadores called the Mexica as Mexicanos and from there, Mexican."
The above is a hypothesis disputed by Javier Francisco Clavijero, Novohispano Jesuit teacher, scholar, and historian (September 9, 1731 - April 2, 1787).
" La hipótesis ha tenido objeciones porque la morfología del náhuatl no admite una derivación del topónimo a partir de las voces propuestas.[23] Clavijero sugería que el topónimo debía interpretarse como Lugar de Mexihtli, es decir, de Huitzilopochtli, pues Mexihtli era uno de sus nombres alternativos. En el mismo texto, Clavijero añade como nota que creyó por algún tiempo que el vocablo significaba En el centro del maguey, pero que a través del conocimiento de la historia de los mexicas llegó a la conclusión de que el topónimo se refiere al dios tutelar de los aztecas.[24" - Wikipedia
It basically says that the name Mexico should be interpreted as "Place of Mexihtli" (Huitzilopochtli as he is better known). he believed at firts it mean "In the center of the maguey", but he says he later came to the conclusion that it really refered to the Mexica god Huitzilopochtli later through his knowledge of Mexican history.
He was born in Veracruz, Mexico and learned native Nahuatl (language of the Mexica) while growing up as his father was assigned to work for the Spanish crown in indigenous Mexico. He also was deeply involved in learning their culture and history/traditions intimately through this same exposure... it was later that he became an academic and priest who's valuable writing on precolumbian history/mesoamerican history is important to this day.

As Native Americans, as a whole did not have "beer" in European sense until post-contact times, this question may be moot. However, the Incas brewed a beer-like alcoholic beverage known as "Chica" and some Pueblo cultures also brewed "Tiswin" from corn or prickly pears. Perhaps most famous would the Aztecs "Pulque" or "Octli in Nuatal. This beverage was made of fermented sap from the Agave or Maguey cactus.
Pre-contact, there were over 500 native American nations in north America speaking many different languages. So there is no such thing as a native American word for something just as you don't refer to a European word for beer...too many cultures, you'd have to ask ever linguistic group what their translation for the word is.
If you are referring to historical forms of beer the first paragraph is probably the extent of beer making in North and South America. Alcohol was rare , hence it's very destructive and tragic history amongst Native people in North America.

It is well known that the Aztec people sacrificed human beings at many ceremonies, but that is not all that they did. The Aztecs had two ways that they sacrificed to the gods, in one they would offer the hearts of humans and the blood of animals to the gods, in the other way they would place high amounts of pain upon their bodies which bled for the gods. It makes sense that they could not offer large numbers of humans' everyday for sacrifice, or else they would run out of people too quickly. So instead, the Aztecs would offer some of their blood to the gods without dying themselves.
There were many ways that they offered themselves to the gods. For instance, Penance- letting their own blood, self-mutilation, piercing their own tongues with spiney strings- was another way of gaining favor from the gods (Booth 1966). They thought that the more pain that they went through the more the gods would be pleased with them. This thought was not new to the Mexican basin area. It was in fact a big trend with the people, Auto sacrifice, the extraction of blood from different parts of one's own body (tongue, penis, ears, legs) with various cutting instruments (awls of bone or obsidian, maguey thorns, was wide spread throughout Mesoamerica beginning in Preclassic times (Solis 2004).
It was natural for all people to perform auto sacrifice, but it was not a daily occurrence for most people, all people engaged in autosacrifce at some point in their lives, usually to petition the gods for agricultural or human fertility (Smith 1996). In contrast to the common people though, the most devout practitioners (priests, for the most part) would pierce their flesh and then pull hollow straws or reeds through the hole. Priests engaged in autosacrifice nightly (Smith 1996). The priests were naturally the closest to understanding the desires of the gods and therefore performed these rituals upon themselves daily so that the gods would get the blood they demanded. This ritual was based on their prehistory, The god Quetzalcoatl performed the first act of autosacrifice when he bled himself to give life to the bones of the ancients (Smith 1996). It all goes back to the fact that the Aztec rituals were meant to repeat the past.
It is the same way with the Christian faith and the whole eating the wafer and drinking the wine, plus the praying a penance thing that they do is similar to what the Aztecs strove to do. The way they went about practicing their beliefs is slightly more extreme than some other religions, but has the same principal ideas. The most common act of auto sacrifice was to pierce one's earlobes or upper ear with pointed maguey thorns. Sometimes other parts of the body were pierced, including the tongue, thigh, upper arm, chest, and genitals (Smith 1996). The maguey plant had many uses that the Aztec people took advantage of; some things were more pleasant than others. By piercing their bodies with the spines they could feel connected to the gods without having to stab a knife into their chest. Although some were obviously such devout followers that they would do more than the required auto sacrifice, and end up killing themselves. Furthermore, while auto sacrifice represented a "partial" death, a person could also die symbolically through sacrificing a victim who was believed to be an "image" (ixiptla) both of him-or herself and of a particular god (Solis 2004). In addition, although autosacrifice was an important and prevalent ritual, it was only a substitute for the more powerful human sacrifice (Smith 1996).

You probably mean "AGAVE" (scientific name: "Agave sisalana" - basic for production of sisal ropes, for example -, "Agave tequilana" - for production of alcoholic beverage "tequila" -, and other species of agave too ("A. americana" / "A. attenuata" etc.).
NOTE that mezcal (from Náhuatl language "mexcalli" [ = cooked maguey ] or from "metl + ixcalli", also from Náhuatl, meaning the same) is the Mexican name of some
tequilas, originated from Mexican agaves (Mexico lies in North America!). However OTHER species of agaves do exist in South America, but they don´t serve to produce tequila or "mezcal", as in Oaxaca region of Mexico; these other are for sisal ropes and similar items or for ornaments, due to their beautiful and/or interesting leaves and/or flowers. AZTEC folks were from Mexico, having dominated large areas in Central America.
In Brazil it´s pronounced as if in English "ah-GAH-vee"; in Mexico, "ah-GAH-vea" ("ea" like in English "it", "this"; caps = stressed syllable).

In the late spring of 1680, Po'pay and other religious leaders who were leading the revolt sent runners to each Pueblo with pictures on deerskin to show it was to happen on the night of the new moon in August. Then in August runners were sent with knotted cords of maguey fiber. The cords were a type of calender with one knot for each night. It was to happen on August 11th. There were 2900 Spanish along the Rio Grande and about 25,000 natives. The leaders of Tanos, San Marcos, and La Cienega betrayed them and went to the Spamish in Santa Fe. The Spainish then captured and two Tesuque runners named Nicolas Catua and Pedro Omtua. News got out and the revolt started early on the 9th in Tesuque which sent runners with the news on the 10th.
In August 1980, the tricentennial of the Pueblo Revolt, Pueblo peoples commemorated the event by running. Pueblo runners from almost all of the remaining 22 Pueblos ran more than 375 miles on foot from Taos to Second Mesa in Arizona. Each runner carried a pouch, containing a symbolic piece of knotted rawhide tied with two knots, in remembrance of the Spanish capture of Catua and Omtua.

Aztec food was a rich combination of many foods that we take for granted today. Not only is much of this rich diet still common in Mexico today, it's spread around the world. Here's a look at some of what the ancient Mexica peoples ate: Maize (also called corn or mealies) was the staple grain of the Aztec empire. Maize has been domesticated for thousands of years, and it likely first came into common use in Mexico, spreading to the rest of the world from there. Mexico is still one of the world's top maize growing countries. Corn could be ground into flour and used to make tortillas (a sort of flat bread, sometimes used to wrap a filling to make tacos), tamales and even drinks. Corn has transformed the world perhaps more than any other food.
The Aztec food grain Aztec food also included beans and squash. Of course, maize and beans are still a cornerstone of the Mexican diet, a healthy combination especially if you're not eating a lot of meat.
To add to these three, the Mexicas (people of the Aztec Empire) ate chillies, tomatoes, limes, cashews, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and of course chocolate. The Mexicas domesticated bees for honey, and turkeys for meat and eggs, also dogs and duck. They hunted and fished as well, and used animals such as deer, rabbits, iguana, fish and shrimp for food. Even insects, such as grasshoppers and worms were harvested. These various types of meat made up only a very minor part of the Aztec food that was eaten.
Large amounts of algae were collected from the surface of the Texcoco Lake water. High in protein, this algae (known as tecuitlatl) was used to make bread and cheese type foods. This algae is still used in Mexico as a fertilizer.
The Aztecs often cooked food bundled in the Maguey plant leaves. This dish is called Mixiotes, and it's still eaten in Mexico today. Different leaves are used because the Maguey population was suffering.
One of the greatest gifts to the world from Mexico is chocolate. The cocoa bean was highly treasured in the Aztec Empire. In fact, the bean was used as a currency, as well as Aztec food. Or, in this case, drink. The cocoa beans were used to make a thick chocolate drink, but far different than the hot chocolate we know today. Since they didn't use sugar, the Mexicas added peppers, corn meal and spices. A similar hot drink is still found in Mexico today with corn, known as atole.

Your question is far too general and takes no account of different clothing worn in many parts of the Americas.
Taking the Aztec people as just one example, these native Americans made most of their clothing from cotton or cactus (ixtle or maguey) fibres.
Men commonly wore a loincloth (maxtle) tied in a knot at the front, sometimes with an added cloak called a tilmatli. Women wore a simple long skirt (quechquemitl) and a blouse (huipil) with or without sleeves. More wealthy people, priests and the military wore specific garments according to their status; most people wore sandals called cactli.
Clearly these clothes (and their names) have no connection at all with clothing worn by the Ingalik people of Alaska or the Bororo of Brazil or the Powhatan people of Virginia; each tribe wore different clothing according to the climate and the resources available locally and had their own names for the different garments.
