Introduction<br />

Although extensive documentation of Aztec natural history was produced in the colonial<br />

period (e.g., de la Cruz, 1940; Hernández, 1959; Sahagún, 1963) there has been<br />

virtually no comprehensive research on modern <strong>Nahuatl</strong> ethnobiology. Attempts (dating<br />

to the nineteenth century) to identify in scientific nomenclature the plants described in<br />

the aforementioned colonial sources have relied on library studies, not fieldwork. There<br />

exists no comprehensive study of modern <strong>Nahuatl</strong> ethnozoology to shed light on the<br />

prehispanic culture in this domain. This situation can be compared to Mayan studies,<br />

which has been pioneering <strong>and</strong> intensive <strong>and</strong> has contributed greatly to our<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing of this culture, both before <strong>and</strong> after conquest (see Alcorn, 1984, Berlin<br />

<strong>and</strong> Berlin, 1996; Berlin, Breedlove, <strong>and</strong> Raven, 1974; Breedlove <strong>and</strong> Laughlin, 1993;<br />

Hunn, 1977; Orellana, 1987; Roys, 1931; to name but the most well known).<br />

The present FAMSI award was to begin to fill this lagunae in primary data <strong>and</strong>, in<br />

addition, for the production of an electronic <strong>and</strong> written corpus of <strong>Nahuatl</strong> language<br />

materials on the natural history (botany <strong>and</strong> zoology) of the <strong>Balsas</strong> River Valley in<br />

central México. The project involves two major phases:<br />

• The development of a floristic <strong>and</strong> faunistic inventory of the natural environment<br />

in the <strong>Nahuatl</strong>-speaking region of the <strong>Balsas</strong> River Valley, particularly those taxa<br />

that are specifically named in <strong>Nahuatl</strong> culture.<br />

• An ethnobiological study, through digitally recorded <strong>and</strong> transcribed exegetical<br />

texts, of the cognitive aspects of nomenclature <strong>and</strong> categorization as well as an<br />

exploration of utilitarian <strong>and</strong> cultural (e.g., "mythical") aspects of the local flora<br />

<strong>and</strong> fauna.<br />

The final results of this long term research project will be:<br />

• A comparative <strong>Nahuatl</strong> ethnobiology that will be gradually developed as research<br />

is extended into new areas (some of which have already been visited <strong>and</strong> worked<br />

in, e.g., Tlanicpatla <strong>and</strong> Atliaca, Guerrero; Cuetzalán, Puebla; <strong>and</strong> the<br />

municipality of Chicontepec, Veracruz <strong>and</strong> Huejutla, Hidalgo).<br />

• A large corpus of digitally recorded <strong>and</strong> transcribed texts that will document<br />

ethnobiological knowledge in speakers' own words. This corpus will be integrated<br />

into both the lexicon <strong>and</strong> cultural encyclopedia of the <strong>Nahuatl</strong> Learning<br />

Environment <strong>and</strong> provide basic learning materials for use in <strong>Nahuatl</strong> bilingual<br />

education (see Figure 1).<br />

Despite both the importance of <strong>Nahuatl</strong> (in terms of number of actual speakers <strong>and</strong> the<br />

existence of ethnobiological materials from the early colonial period) (e.g., Sahagún <strong>and</strong><br />

Hernández) there has been little done on <strong>Nahuatl</strong> ethnobiology except in the Sierra<br />

Norte of Puebla, where Pierre Beaucage <strong>and</strong> Alfonso Reynoso Rábago have worked<br />

closely <strong>and</strong> co-published with the Taller de Tradición Oral. Besides the works already<br />

2


published (e.g., Maseualxiujpajmej. Kuesalan, Puebla/Plantas medicinales indígenas.<br />

Cuetzalán, Puebla. Puebla, México: DIF) there is still an immense amount of<br />

unpublished material. The present FAMSI-supported project will complement the Sierra<br />

Norte de Puebla studies <strong>and</strong> research <strong>and</strong> yield important comparative data.<br />

Figure 1. <strong>Nahuatl</strong> Learning Environment home page: Illustration by Gabriel de la Cruz<br />

(Ameyaltepec, Guerrero).<br />

While Sahagún <strong>and</strong> Hernández have an immense amount of material on <strong>Nahuatl</strong><br />

(Aztec) ethnobotany <strong>and</strong> ethnoornithology, material on insects <strong>and</strong> fish is less<br />

abundant. The <strong>Balsas</strong> <strong>Nahuatl</strong> material will therefore yield both material for comparative<br />

study (with Aztec <strong>and</strong> Sierra Norte de Puebla ethnobotany) <strong>and</strong> new nomenclature <strong>and</strong><br />

identifications for fauna not previously studied.<br />

Finally, the present study makes use of language documentation methodology to<br />

digitally record <strong>and</strong> then transcribe extensive texts on a domain of cultural knowledge<br />

that will probably be lost forever after the passing of the next generation. This material<br />

will not only be stored in regular depositories (such as the Archive of Indigenous<br />

Languages of Latin America) but integrated into an electronic learning environment for<br />

easy searching (e.g., on scientific name, <strong>Nahuatl</strong> name, life-form, etc.), display of text in<br />

various formats (e.g., time-coded transcription, publishable text, <strong>and</strong> 3-line interlinear<br />

format), <strong>and</strong> links to digital images (e.g., macro photographs of the flora <strong>and</strong> fauna).<br />

Biological Inventory<br />

A preliminary list of life forms collected or seen in the <strong>Balsas</strong> River Valley is given in the<br />

appendices to this report. Approximately 1,200 plant specimens, 250 animals (not<br />

including mammals <strong>and</strong> avefauna) have been collected <strong>and</strong> are being identified by<br />

expert taxonomists from around the world. Avefauna has been identified mostly through<br />

a visit with <strong>Nahuatl</strong>-speaking consultants to a museum where specimens were<br />

displayed to the consultants, sightings by an expert ornithologist in the field, <strong>and</strong> song<br />

recordings proporcioned by the Cornell Orthnithology Lab.<br />

Botanical specimens have been doubled since FAMSI support started in 2004. There<br />

are now approximately 1,200 specimens (all professionally mounted according to<br />

herbarium specifications) representing some 600+ species (a catalogue is being<br />

prepared). Not all species have <strong>Nahuatl</strong> names, although at least from the <strong>Balsas</strong> River<br />

Valley probably close to 90–95% of <strong>Nahuatl</strong> named flora has been collected (<strong>and</strong><br />

perhaps 90% of this subset identified to species). Recently agreements have been<br />

reached with two indigenous villages (San Miguel Tecuiciapan <strong>and</strong> Atliaca) to leave a<br />

mounted copy of the <strong>Nahuatl</strong>-named specimens in their territory with the community. In<br />

San Miguel this material will be given to the local high school; in Atliaca it has been<br />

donated to the comisaria municipal.<br />

Most birds have been documented through sightings or museum visits <strong>and</strong> further<br />

identified in <strong>Nahuatl</strong> through sound recordings of birdsongs (provided by the Cornell<br />

Ornithology Lab) <strong>and</strong> photos. Only <strong>Nahuatl</strong>-named insects (approximately 75–100) have<br />

been collected <strong>and</strong> are being identified through the Instituto de Biología (UNAM) in<br />

México City <strong>and</strong> the Smithsonian Institution (Washington). Only <strong>Nahuatl</strong>-named reptiles<br />

<strong>and</strong> fish are being collected, <strong>and</strong> these are being identifed at the Facultad de Ciencias<br />

<strong>and</strong> Instituto de Biología (respectively).<br />

The appendices report the status of material collected to date. Scientific names are<br />

followed by <strong>Nahuatl</strong> names obtained in consultation with local consultants. It needs to<br />

be noted that this is a representation of raw field data <strong>and</strong> no effort at this point has<br />

been made to determine "correct" <strong>and</strong> "incorrect" identifications nor to fully explore local<br />

variation in nomenclature. The original database also contains extensive notes from<br />

interviews with consultants during field collection about the use <strong>and</strong> morphology or life<br />

cycle of the collected flora <strong>and</strong> fauna. These notes are presently being culled <strong>and</strong><br />

analyzed for a publication on <strong>Nahuatl</strong> ethnobiology.<br />

Textual Documentation: Audio <strong>and</strong> Transcription<br />

Digital recording of <strong>Nahuatl</strong> ethnobiological knowledge has continued throughout the<br />

term of the FAMSI grant. A more recent focus has been on insects, after extensive<br />

recordings on plants (approximately 50 hours) <strong>and</strong> birds (approximately 10 hours) had<br />

been achieved. Although a complete catalogue of material is in development, probably<br />

over 75 hours of material have been recorded. These are being selected for<br />

transcription <strong>and</strong>, eventually, online presentation in the <strong>Nahuatl</strong> Learning Environment:<br />

<strong>Cultural</strong> <strong>Encyclopedia</strong>. The recordings are according to archival best practices: 48KHz<br />

sampling rate, 16-bit. A Sonifex Courier digital recorder is used with an ATM-75 cardiod<br />

headset microphone.<br />

Transcriptions are developed in a three-stage process. First, native speakers who have<br />

been trained in <strong>Nahuatl</strong> language documentation are given a digitally recorded text to<br />

transcribe using the program Transcriber. The time-coded transcription is then<br />

proofread. Second, the resulting time-coded transcription is exported to a text format. It<br />

is again proofed <strong>and</strong> also edited for "publication" <strong>and</strong> distribution to most end users (i.e.,<br />

punctuation marks are added <strong>and</strong> paragraphs divided). Third, the now formatted <strong>and</strong><br />

proofed text is reimported into a time code for line-by-line playback through a Web<br />

interface. A software program called Webscriber is being developed for this purpose.<br />

Dozens of hours of material is in one of the three stages of transcription <strong>and</strong> textual<br />

presentation.<br />

Audio files <strong>and</strong> textual material will be permanently archived at the Archive of<br />

Indigenous Languages of Latin America (University of Texas). A more interactive<br />

presentation is presently being developed for uploading at the Linguistic Data<br />

Consortium, University of Pennsylvania.<br />

Collaborations<br />

Figure 11. Oapan <strong>Nahuatl</strong>: Tepe:chikalin / Solanum rostratum Dunal.<br />

Since the FAMSI award was given in 2004, fieldwork has been carried out on a<br />

continual basis. During the past two years, collaborations have been developed <strong>and</strong><br />

deepened with various institutions <strong>and</strong> individuals. This has helped achieve two<br />

principal results:<br />

• An extensive inventory of the flora <strong>and</strong> fauna of the <strong>Balsas</strong> River Valley (<strong>Nahuatl</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> scientific names [see appendices]).<br />

• A large corpus of digitally recorded <strong>and</strong> transcribed <strong>Nahuatl</strong> texts as well as the<br />

enrichment of the NLE lexicon with <strong>Nahuatl</strong> nomenclature <strong>and</strong> lexicon related to<br />

the natural environment.<br />

12

Support for the FAMSI project can be divided into three major groups:<br />

• Granting agencies, which has enabled the project to continue to grow in the<br />

direction first contemplated in the FAMSI award.<br />

• Academic institutions <strong>and</strong> individuals who have collaborated in collection <strong>and</strong><br />

identification of the ethnobiological materials.<br />

• Indigenous communities, associations, <strong>and</strong> individuals who have worked as<br />

ethnobiological consultants <strong>and</strong> language documentation experts who have<br />

transcribed the recorded texts.<br />

Granting Agencies<br />

Since 2004, in addition to FAMSI, the following agencies have supported research <strong>and</strong><br />

educational efforts in <strong>Nahuatl</strong> specifically related to <strong>Nahuatl</strong> ethnobiology.<br />

• National Science Foundation/National Endowment for the Humanities: for<br />

<strong>Nahuatl</strong> language documentation in the state of Guerrero <strong>and</strong> training of native<br />

speakers in this activity. NSF/NEH funds were used to support several botanical<br />

expeditions.<br />

• Ford Foundation: for working with indigenous bilingual schoolteachers <strong>and</strong><br />

communities in promoting language maintenance <strong>and</strong> revitalization along with<br />

the production of <strong>Nahuatl</strong> materials that will be used in bilingual primary<br />

educational schools. Ford Foundation funds were used to establish<br />

ethnobotanical collections in the communities of San Miguel Tecuiciapan (in the<br />

preparatoria popular) <strong>and</strong> Atliaca (in the comisaría).<br />

• México: Consejo Nacional para la Ciencia y Tecnología: for support in collecting<br />

botanical specimens in the <strong>Balsas</strong> River Valley in collaboration with the Facultad<br />

de Ciencies, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. CONACyT funds were<br />

used to mount ethnobotanical exhibitions in three indigenous communities <strong>and</strong> in<br />

supporting botanical field expeditions.<br />

Scientific Institutions <strong>and</strong> Individual Academic Researchers<br />

Particularly important to research for the project <strong>Nahuatl</strong> <strong>Cultural</strong> <strong>Encyclopedia</strong>: <strong>Botany</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>Zoology</strong>: <strong>Balsas</strong> River, Guerrero, has been institutional support for the identification<br />

of biological materials collected in the <strong>Balsas</strong> River Valley. Well over fifty scientists from<br />

around the world have helped in the identification of biological specimens. Many belong<br />

to the following research institutions (only the most important institutions are listed,<br />

individual collaborators at smaller institutions offered significant help as well). A more<br />

complete list of collaborators can be viewed on the <strong>Nahuatl</strong> Learning Environment<br />

Botanical fieldwork yielded at least one new species (Ficus oapana C.C. Berg, named<br />

for the village Oapan where the project was centered; in Oapan <strong>Nahuatl</strong> a:makohtli<br />

xihyó:pitsá:wak). There is a possibility that an additional two new plant taxa were also<br />

found.<br />

16


Figure 15. <strong>Balsas</strong> Valley <strong>Nahuatl</strong>: Yo:yohtli / Stemmadenia donnell-smithii (Rose) Woodson.<br />

Plant specimens now number over 1,200 <strong>and</strong> animal specimens over 250. Birds<br />

sighted or collected in the region number over 100. This represents a doubling of the<br />

collection over the two years of the FAMSI grant. Specimen identification has<br />

proceeded as planned. Only approximately 50 plants have not been identified to genus;<br />

the majority of these will be determined in the next few months. Insects have proven to<br />

be more problematic, but with the recent collaboration of the Smithsonian Institution<br />

Department of Entomology most insects should be identified at least to genus within the<br />

next six months. Almost all birds documented to date have been determined to genus<br />

<strong>and</strong> species. Reptiles <strong>and</strong> fish should be all determined within six months. A full list of<br />

flora <strong>and</strong> fauna collected <strong>and</strong> determined to date is included in the appendices to this<br />

report.<br />

17


Indigenous Communities, Associations, <strong>and</strong> Individuals<br />

Botanical collections were first centered in the villages of Oapan, San Juan Tetelcingo,<br />

<strong>and</strong> Ameyaltepec. Subsequently collections were carried out in the additional <strong>Balsas</strong><br />

River Valley communities of Tlamamacan <strong>and</strong> San Miguel Tecuiciapan. Outside of the<br />

<strong>Balsas</strong> River Valley collections were made in Tlanicpatla <strong>and</strong> Atliaca.<br />

Zoological collections have been centered in Oapan. This village has preserved<br />

traditional knowledge of the fauna, particularly insect species (e.g., close to twenty<br />

recognized <strong>and</strong> named Orthoptera species [grasshoppers, katydids, crickets]). Bird<br />

collecting <strong>and</strong> watching has been carried out in Oapan, San Miguel Tecuiciapan <strong>and</strong><br />

Tlamamacan.<br />

Ethnobotanical collections of local flora (professionally mounted as herbarium<br />

specimens) have been donated to the Prepa Popular in San Miguel Tecuiciapan <strong>and</strong> to<br />

the Comisaría in Atliaca. In both they will be at the disposition of students <strong>and</strong> others<br />

who wish to preserve tradicional knowledge.<br />

Finally, recent contacts have been made with independent indigenous cultural activists<br />

in Chilapa, Guerrero (Tlamachtihkeh San Se: Ohtli Tikahsiskeh A.C.), <strong>and</strong> in Cuetzalán,<br />

Puebla (Taller de Tradición Oral). It is hoped that in the near future a more<br />

geographically extensive comparative <strong>Nahuatl</strong> ethnobiology can be initiated, with these<br />

two areas targeted for research on the local flora <strong>and</strong> fauna <strong>and</strong> the recording of<br />

traditional knowledge in these fields.<br />

Community Outreach<br />

The presentation of ethnobotanical collections of local flora to the indigenous high<br />

school in San Miguel Tecuiciapan <strong>and</strong> the public officials in Atliaca has already been<br />

mentioned. In addition an exhibition of plant specimens <strong>and</strong> photos was mounted in<br />

three villages in the <strong>Balsas</strong> River Valley: San Marcos Oacacingo, Ameyaltepec, <strong>and</strong><br />

San Agustín Oapan. The exhibit was financed <strong>and</strong> put together by collaborating<br />

researchers <strong>and</strong> museographers at the Facultad de Ciencias of the Universidad<br />

Nacional Autónoma de México.<br />
