Abelardo de la Cruz de la Cruz

I am macehualli, a Nahuatl native speaker from Mexico, and an ixtlamatquetl, a Nahua scholar. I obtained my Ph.D. in anthropology at the University at Albany, State University of New York in 2022. I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. My research focuses on contemporary Indigenous (Nahua) religion, which necessarily involves studying how Nahuas in the Huasteca Veracruzana, in Veracruz, Mexico, incorporate Catholicism and Protestantism into their religious lives.
