Content Description
Materials relating to research done by Jonathan D. Amith under the Jacobs Research Fund grant including audio recordings and transcriptions of conversations and plant names in Totonac, plant collection metadata, photographs, and illustrated field guides. Includes research from two Totonac-speaking communities in the Sierra Norte de Puebla: Zongozotla and Tonalixco, done with a team of native speakers from Zongozotla headed by Osbel López Francisco.
Historical Note
The Totonac are an indigenous people of Mexico who reside in the states of Veracruz, Puebla, and Hidalgo. The term "Totonac" refers to the people living in Totonacapan, which is a region in the modern states of Veracruz and Puebla as well as the historical extension where the Totonac people of Mexico dominated. They traditionally speak Totonac, which forms a small language family with Tepehua. Totonacan languages aren't related to other Native Mesoamerican languages such as those in the Mayan, Oto-Manguean, or Uto-Aztecan families.
