Luis J. Rodriguez: Death of an Indigenous Elder
Tagged: blog, family, MECha, Mexico“Don Luis Martinez was a local mechanic in the Chicago barrio of Pilsen for many years.

Around ten years ago, he gave me my Mexika/Nahuatl name, Xikome Tochtli, in a beautiful ceremony in my back yard — with my family and the Blazquez family (all four of whom also received their names that day) and a few friends.”
