Loteria Nawatl

Itโ€™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 areโ€ฆtolerable (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. Itโ€™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 Indianaย and the video with Nahuatl speakers in Mexico. Tlasohkamati again to everyone who played!
