Kindred Continuum: Tilantongo – Conversations from Indigenous Mexico Episode 9

In Tilantongo – Conversations from Indigenous Mexico; Conversaciones desde el México indigena, Phil and Kathy Dahl-Bredine bring perspectives and insights from Oaxaca, where they have lived with and learned from indigenous Mixtec people since 2001. This bilingual program features interviews with villagers, educators, environmental advocates, historians, and more.

In Tilantongo program 2 for 2023, Mixtec campesinos Berta Santiago and Agustin Leon Santos discuss technology.

Here they discuss what “technology” means, and the surprising technological options they have in the Mixteca Alta.
