Chicago-based Kalpulli practicing the Nahua Tradition of Mexico

  • Our mission is to research, preserve, and share the profound Indigenous knowledges and cultural legacy of Mexico. We strive to promote a self-sufficient way of life that respects and aligns with nature's rhythms, advocating for environmental sustainability and community development.

  • Our purpose is to empower our community and individuals through educational programs, ceremonial practices, rites of passage, activist initiatives, and land stewardship, inspired by tradition and reverence for the Earth. Embracing creativity and innovation, we aim to evolve Indigenous traditions, fostering agency and ensuring a thriving future where Indigenous wisdom shapes sustainable living and inspires generations to come.

  • Our vision is to pave the way toward a world where Indigenous wisdom inspires individuals and societies to strengthen their connection with the natural world and each other while preserving cultural diversity amid globalization. We envision a future of self-reliance, where communities thrive in ecological harmony, foster mutual respect and understanding, and revere the land as a sacred legacy, upheld for the flourishing of all life.
