Biocultural heritage network
Formally founded in 2011, the biocultural heritage network (red de patrimonio biocultural) emerges in academia as a potent synergy between two powerful contemporary global social movements: the vindication of native or indigenous peoples and critical environmentalism.
The project of ceremonial tortillas and the block stamps by which they are made, was part of the biocultural heritage network in 2015. Back them, we were able to implement a first meeting between producers of painted tortillas and artisans of stamps in which 5 lines of action were raised.
The fundamental axis of the project is undoubtedly the protection of the ceremonial tortilla and its stamps as collective cultural heritage of the native peoples of the Laja River Basin.
