"The Centeotzintli: Sacred Maiz: A 7,000-year Ceremonial Discourse" symposium will examine the centrality of maiz to Indigenous and de-Indigenized peoples of the continent, focusing on the concept of “when our story begins.” The researchers examine the concepts of memory, medicine, sustenance, story and relationships.
The symposium emphasizes the relationship that de-Indigenized Mexicans, Central and South Americans have with maiz culture and with other maize-based cultures and peoples of the continent. Scholars, educators, students and elders will present their views regarding the ancient connections and living relationships between these populations and the maiz cultures of the continent. Research is coordinated by Roberto Rodriguez.
