Nahua Hands, the Feast of Toxcatl, and the Transmission of Legacy
When Spaniards led by Pedro de Alvarado attacked Tenochca Mexicas during the Feast of Toxcatl in May 1520, they dismembered and killed many celebrants. The attack marked an extreme aggression against Nahua lives and bodies, and especially their hands and arms. But though the attack inhabited the Nahuas’ memory for generations, it did nothing to diminish their strong cultural affinities with their hands and arms. Nahuas instead cultivated a height…
Ossified and Materialized Selves in Three Manuscripts of Colonial Guatemala
Guatemalan colonial-period documents have proven valuable for revealing Maya thinking about bone, especially how Mayas imbued bones with personal identity. At key moments in the narratives of three Guatemalan manuscripts, the Rabinal Achi, Xpantzay Cartulary, and Pop Wuj, Mayas materialized the self of important individuals through their bones, treating the bones at times like captives. By doing this, colonial-era Mayas were revealing their ideat…

Los mayas, la espiritualidad y la historia incompleta del conflicto en Guatemala
Las prácticas espirituales mayas en Guatemala han sido desafiadas activamente por las religionesinstitucionales y por otros sectores públicos. Muchos ritualistas mayas han sido hostigados porlíderes de otras religiones y han sido atacados por un aparato estatal que asocia la vida maya rural con la insurgencia. Como resultado, muchos elementos espirituales mayas han sidoalejados hasta las márgenes de la sociedad. Dirigiéndose a las últimas dos déc…

Bonesetting and Radiography in the Southern Maya Highlands
Maya bonesetters and their clients have been affected by the entry of radiographic technology into highland Guatemala. Bonesetters rely on a form of embodied knowledge to perform their manual work, the kind of knowledge X-rays threaten to supersede. This article examines how Maya bonesetters are meeting this challenge to their legitimacy and how they are positioning themselves pragmatically within a world of changing biomedical resources and cont…
The Hands Know
In southern Middle America, highland Maya bonesetters are called on to treat many cases of bodily injury. While Guatemalan Maya bonesetters vary greatly in their techniques and specialties, they prioritize manual treatment modalities, using their hands to address problems in clients' bodies. For bonesetters, the hands achieve direct knowledge of the suffering body, enabling them to work and securing the trust of those they treat. Nonetheless, May…
Human‐Peyote Interaction in South Texas
South Texas has long been an important region for Native Americans who use peyote, Lophophora williamsii (Lem.) Coulter, in sacramental form. Since before the turn of the century, Native American peyotists collected and used the cactus, which grows primarily throughout a region extending from northeastern Mexico to south Texas. When North American peyotism was formalized through the Native American Church early this century, demand for the cactus…
