I am a macehualli (Nahuatl native speaker) and ixtlamatquetl (Nahua scholar) from Chicontepec, Veracruz, Mexico. My research focuses on Indigenous religious practices, particularly the intersection of Nahua traditions and Catholicism. I hold a Ph.D., with my dissertation examining the role of motiochihuanih (catechists turned prayer specialists) in Nahua communities. My work emphasizes the coexistence and accommodation between Indigenous and Catholic practices.
