Claudia Santos, a 50-year-old woman from Mexico City, has embarked on a spiritual journey to reconnect with her pre-Hispanic heritage. Santos recently tattooed the symbol 'Ollin,' meaning 'movement' in the Nahuatl language, on her wrist as a representation of her identity and commitment to speaking for her ancestors' worldview.
In 2021, Santos co-founded an organization dedicated to raising awareness of the Mexica heritage in her community. Each year, she and members of Indigenous communities gather to honor Cuauhtémoc, the last emperor of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, in a ceremony held in the neighborhood of Tepito.
