As Naua people, each of us holds a sacred responsibility, a calling unique to us. Central to our identity is our ability to listen, listen to our ancestors, the land, and ourselves. We also hold the responsibility to pass down the teachings of our ancestors and to maintain uanyatlalilistli (balance) in our territory, in paleuilistli (reciprocity) pan kuali ojtli (in a good way).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is with these responsibilities that our Uajkapakaltlamachtiloyaj works to restore not only our traditional structures of learning, but all ways of our people, from our medicines, ceremonies and our ability to make everything from the land. Guided by our elders, medicine holders, language carriers and those of ancestral knowledge, our Uajkapakaltlamachtiloyaj\u2019s work restores these relationships and shows our youth what it means to be Naua and allow themselves to find their sacred place and responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Uajkapakaltlamachtiloyaj is our center for ceremonies, learning, sharing and teaching. A place to honor our elders and a place for our youth to come into their strength. A place where we continue the path our ancestors have made for us and the abundance they have worked so hard for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
