Loteria Nawatl

It’s been a strange month and a half since we have been on a stay-at-home order here in Chicago. Most days are good but other days are…tolerable (I try not to say bad cause my days could be worse but they are tolerable and honestly, so many more people I know are struggling hella hard). I mostly miss seeing my friends and family, hugging them, visiting the water (lake) but I am grateful for technology that still keeps us all connected.

Recently, my friend Victorino and I started having online Loteria in Nawatl. We opened it up to really anyone interested in playing. We know some people who participated and others we did not. It’s been so much fun and one way for us to have a good time while also talking through these difficult times.

Enjoy this image from one of the games we had a couple weeks ago with individuals here in Chicago, Wisconsin, and Indiana and the video with Nahuatl speakers in Mexico. Tlasohkamati again to everyone who played!
