Who they are
The Tlapanecos of Acatepec, who call themselves me’phaa, inhabit the steep slopes of the mountainous region of Guerrero, Mexico. Guardians of ancestral traditions and a unique tonal language, they preserve their communal way of life in agricultural villages, where corn cultivation and collective work sustain family life and strengthen their indigenous cultural identity.
