“…Neighbors and friends exchange tamales , which Barabas (2010) calls the “gift ethic” of giving and receiving, fundamental to Indigenous communities in Mexico. The principle of giving and receiving constitutes a reciprocal and institutionalized custom that preserves production to sustain the family and regulates the use and access to common resources within territories, as observed by Masferrer-Kan (2006) and Beaucage (2012) in Totonacapan communities.…”

This study focused on the use and management of Ceratozamia totonacorum leaves during the Day of the Dead in Santiago Ecatlán, an Indigenous Totonaca community located in the Sierra Norte of Puebla, Mexico. Ethnographical, ethnobotanical, and ecological methods were utilized to document the ritual use and traditional management practices of C. totonacorum. Additionally, this information was used to evaluate the impact and effect of leaf extraction on a C. totonacorum population. C. totonacorum plants grow on limestone cliffs and in adjacent agricultural fields. Experienced harvesters remove the leaves without damaging the plants, and when C. totonacorum leaves become scarce they are substituted by Chamaedorea spp. Our results show that these practices do not have a negative impact on the studied population. We conclude that community management practices have contributed to maintaining a stable population of C. totonacorum. We therefore consider the need to study the relationship between the permanence of ritual ceremonies and associated sustainable plant practices and the importance of projects based on a better understanding of ritual plant uses, which could contribute to sustainable resource and ecosystem conservation. This research demonstrates the relevance of co-designing comprehensive conservation strategies that vindicate the value and promote local expressions of traditional knowledge.

El objetivo central de este trabajo es analizar algunos aspectos de la conflictividad socioambiental en la sierra Norte de Puebla, México frente al avance del modelo extractivista. Para ello, presentamos los resultados de una investigación teórico-documental sobre las estrategias puntuales emprendidas por la comunidad maseualmej en defensa de su territorio y de su patrimonio biocultural, haciendo uso de categorías analíticas ofrecidas por la ecología política. Acompañamos este análisis con los resultados de un estudio de carácter etnográfico al interior de la comunidad maseualmej en el pueblo de Cuetzalan, Puebla. Finalmente, concluimos que la organización comunitaria maseualmej y sus estrategias de resistencia, la autogestión del turismo en la región y el rechazo sistemático a megaproyectos extractivos han evitado el proceso de despojo territorial, mostrándose como una alternativa viable al sistema civilizatorio imperante.
