Abstract
Hablar de los pueblos indígenas de América es adentrarse en un
universo pluricultural. A lo largo y ancho del continente americano,
los distintos pueblos originarios son ejemplo de configuraciones
culturales dinámicas que se reescriben día con día mostrando cómo
su cotidianidad, manifiesta en las esferas de lo político, social, económico,
religioso y ritual, está en constante relación con las artes, el
saber y una cosmovisión compartida. Los ayuujk jää¿y o mixes son uno
de estos pueblos que, asentados en distintos nichos ecológicos en la
Sierra Norte del estado de Oaxaca en México, mantienen similitudes
culturales pero también diferencias en su lengua, vestimenta y otros
rasgos, dando evidencia de un pueblo cuya heterogeneidad forma
parte de la unidad. Lo que a continuación presento son una serie de
imágenes etnográficas que los ayuujk me han compartido de su visión
del mundo a lo largo de nueve años de trabajo en la región. Los
datos pertenecen, en su mayoría, a la región alta, específicamente a la
comunidad de Santa María Tlahuitoltepec y son apenas una pequeña
dosis de la complejidad cultural de la que este pueblo es portador.
Speaking of the indigenous peoples of America is to explore a multicultural universe. In the Americas, the different indigenous peoples are examples of dynamic cultural configurations that everyday write their history showing how their daily life, manifested in the spheres of political, social, economic, religious and ritual is in constant contact with the arts, knowledge and a shared worldview. The ayuujk jää¿y or mixes are one of these peoples, settled in different ecological niches in the northern highlands of Oaxaca in Mexico. They maintain cultural similarities but also differences in language, dress and other features, giving evidence of their heterogeneity as part of their unit. What follows, presents ethnographic images shared to me by the ayuujk over nine years working in the region. The data belong mostly to the upper region, specifically the community of Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec and they are just a small example of the cultural complexity of this people.
