Who they are

The Totonaca people of Patla and Chicontla live on the slopes of the Sierra Norte de Puebla in Mexico, within the Necaxa River basin. As keepers of their own variety of the Totonaca language, they keep ancestral agricultural and cultural traditions associated with growing corn and coffee alive. Their community life is shaped by strong ties among neighbors and a historical heritage that brings together ancient Mesoamerican roots and the Christian faith.
