Native Symbol Skin Art
As we now enter the final season of this Tekpatl year, we enter into the final stages of the profound work that this Tlalpilli represented. A time of will-power & reflection, of going deep within ourselves, it is a time to achieve the final arrows needed to ensure a strong foundation for the beginning of the new Tlalpilli in Ze Kalli.

Tlazohkamati to everyone who is a part of this profound work that we are doing together. From the self-healing, to the danza, from the ceremonies, to the Ikniuhyotl and the Native Arts & Sciences of Chikomostok Academy.

We are truly grateful to do this work with every one of you.

NPR Interview: "No Apocalypse? Chicago Residents Tell You Why"

Thank you to WBEZ 91.5 Chicago's NPR for seeking out more truth than sensationalism on the media exploit of the 2012 and the Mayan Communities. To hear the story with Akaxe, that aired on Dec 21st, go to the online recording of the interview

Yaotilliztli with ASM Youth

Tlazohakamati to Susana Banuelos & Tlanez Xochtil for the great work they're doing at ASM & Instituto del Progreso Latino and for the invitation to work with their youth this past semester. 
We are grateful to know of the dedication the young people have been giving Mazehaul Danza and Yaotilliztli. We look forward to continue seeing them at practices & ceremonies.

Rudy Lozano Leadership Academy

Thank you also to RLLA & Victor Arroyo for the invitation to dispell the myth of the "2012 apocalypse" and to speak on the true nature of the ancestral calendars to the whole school. Tlazohkamati
